Yoshinobu Yamamoto - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Activated ahead of start The Dodgers reinstated Yamamoto (triceps) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Impact Yamamoto has been held out of action since June 15 due to a right tricep/shoulder injury. However, he's made two rehab starts with Triple-A Oklahoma City, during which he allowed three earned runs across four innings. He only threw 53 pitches during his latest minor-league outing, so there's a good chance his return to a big-league mound is relatively short-lived Tuesday. Nick Ramirez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Returning Tuedsay Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Yamamoto (triceps) will return from the injured list to start against the Cubs on Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Yamamoto allowed three earned runs in four innings across his two rehab starts at Triple-A Oklahoma City, but the Dodgers seem to be comfortable clearing him to rejoin their rotation. The 26-year-old righty only reached 53 pitches during his most recent outing Tuesday, so it's likely he'll be working under a pitch/innings restriction once he makes his first start since June 15.

Dodgers News: Yoshinobu Yamamoto has Mixed Results in Second Rehab Appearance Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed two runs in two innings during his second rehab start, raising questions about his readiness.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • SACBEE.COM

So-so in second rehab start Yamamoto (triceps) tossed two innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out three batters.

Impact Yamamoto was slated to go three innings in the outing, but his pitch count got up to 53 after two frames, so he didn't return for the third. The elevated pitch count was largely due to a 17-pitch at-bat that ended in a walk against MLB veteran Omar Narvaez. While Yamamoto's final stat line was far from impressive, he did throw 36 of his 53 pitches for strikes and sat at 95-to-96 mph on his fastball, so the overall takeaway was mostly positive. It's not yet clear if the right-hander will be asked to make an additional rehab start or if his next game action will be with the big-league club, though the former is probably more likely given the Dodgers' general preference to be cautious with injuries to their starting pitchers.

Next rehab start Tuesday Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a bullpen session Sunday and have his next rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Impact Yamamoto began his rehab assignment with Oklahoma City on Wednesday, when he allowed a solo home run and struck out two batters across two innings while throwing 31 pitches. He has been on the IL since mid-June due to a right rotator cuff strain, and he didn't begin throwing bullpen sessions until early August. Yamamoto is aiming to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation in mid-September, and he'll need a couple more rehab starts without suffering a setback before doing so. In the 14 starts before the injury, he went 6-2 with a 2.92 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 84:17 K:BB over 74 innings.

AUGUST 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes two innings in rehab start Yamamoto (triceps) allowed one run and struck out two over two innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Impact Yamamoto surrendered a solo home run but nothing else, throwing 31 pitches over his two frames. The righty's velocity was down across the board, although that's not necessarily surprising for his first start in more than two months and isn't overly concerning yet. The plan is for Yamamoto to make a couple more rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers' rotation in mid-September.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • KANSASCITY.COM

Beginning rehab assignment Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Yamamoto (triceps) will start a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's the final stage of the rehab progress for the Japanese right-hander, who has been sidelined since mid-June due to triceps tightness. Yamamoto has recently thrown a few simulated games and should be ready to cover at least a couple frames in his first rehab start. The Dodgers are targeting mid-September to bring him back from the injured list.

Rehab assignment coming Yamamoto (triceps) could begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Yamamoto has been eyeing a mid-September return and will advance to a minor-league rehab assignment next week if his next bullpen session goes well. The right-hander has been sidelined since June 15 and is expected to throw three simulated innings in the bullpen session. He'll likely require multiple rehab starts before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab assignment coming If Yamamoto (triceps) doesn't endure a setback in his next bullpen session, he will make a two-inning rehab start Wednesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact Yamamoto has been eyeing a mid-September return and will advance to a minor-league rehab assignment if his final bullpen session goes well. The right-hander has been sidelined since June 15 and is expected to throw three simulated innings in the bullpen session. He'll likely require multiple rehab starts before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Aiming for mid-September return Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Yamamoto (triceps) is on track to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation sometime in mid-September, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Roberts noted that he was impressed with Yamamoto's stuff during his two-inning sim game Wednesday, and the team will stretch the right-hander out to three innings when he throws another sim game next week. Assuming everything goes smoothly, he will then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment to continue building up to a starter's workload.

AUGUST 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for second sim game Wednesday Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a two-inning simulated game Wednesday, per MLB.com.

Impact This will be Yamamoto's second sim game since landing on the injured list in mid-June. In his first, the Japanese hurler threw 17 pitches in St. Louis on Aug. 16. Yamamoto is expected to follow Wednesday's simulated game with a three-inning sim game before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. He could return to the Dodgers' rotation in early September.

AUGUST 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Throws 17 pitches Friday Yamamoto (triceps) threw 17 pitches in his live bullpen session Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Friday marked the first time Yamamoto has faced live hitters since going on the injured list in June. His session was cut short due to the heat, but he noted afterwards that he felt good. The 25-year-old will have at least two more live sessions before going on a rehab assignment.

AUGUST 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Facing batters Friday Yamamoto (triceps) threw about 40 pitches during a bullpen session Tuesday and is scheduled to face hitters Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The right-hander continues to build toward a rehab assignment, and Friday's session could go a long way toward clearing him for game action. Yamamoto will likely require multiple outings in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers, so he shouldn't be expected to be reinstated until at least the end of August.

Impact Yamamoto has completed multiple bullpens and, assuming all goes well Tuesday, will advance to facing batters for the first time since going on the injured list June 16. The 25-year-old is still multiple weeks away from pitching in a game, and it's likely he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment. Yamamoto worked up to 30 pitches in his most recent bullpen session.

Tosses 30 pitches in bullpen Yamamoto (triceps) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

Impact The bullpen was Yamamoto's second since landing on the injured list June 16. In his previous session, which took place Saturday, the right-hander threw 20 pitches, and he increased that count by 10 on Tuesday. Yamamoto is slated to toss another bullpen this week before pitching to live hitters next week. If he continues to build up without any setbacks, Yamamoto could return to the Dodgers' rotation in late August or early September.
