Roki Sasaki’s highly anticipated rookie season has taken another disappointing turn. The Dodgers placed Sasaki on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement on Tuesday prior to their 11-1 loss to the Athletics.

Sasaki entered MLB as one of the most-hyped prospects in living memory, in the zip code of Paul Skenes and Stephen Strasburg. However, it's becoming increasingly clear he did not enter the league as a finished product like his teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who accomplished much more in NPB before coming over.
