The Los Angeles Dodgers were projected to have one of the best starting rotations in baseball going into this year. Some even speculated that, assuming good health, it could have ranked among the best in MLB history.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said pitcher Roki Sasaki reported feeling sore after making his first MLB start following five days of rest.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost another starting pitcher to injury. Prized right-hander Roki Sasaki has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement, the team announced Tuesday.
