Sasaki allowed two hits and struck out two batters over one scoreless relief inning against San Diego on Tuesday.
Sasaki logged his first game action since landing on the IL due to a finger blister in late August. The right-hander entered in the fourth inning and worked around a pair of two-out singles to work a scoreless frame. Sasaki twice hit triple-digits with his fastball and seemed to have no lingering issues from the blister. The outing was his first out of the bullpen this season, and that could be his role in the playoffs as well, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. While Sasaki has had a mostly promising second MLB campaign, Los Angeles' postseason rotation may not have room for him if Blake Snell (groin) is ready to go, and Sasaki has already demonstrated he can be successful as a late-inning reliever based on his performance during the team's championship run last year.

Sasaki (finger) was activated from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Sasaki has made a full recovery after being shelved with a blister on his right middle finger in late August. After working out of the rotation in his first 23 appearances of the season, he's expected to pitch out of the bullpen going forward and is likely to make an appearance in Tuesday's series opener versus the Padres.

Sasaki (finger) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch in Tuesday's contest against San Diego, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Sasaki has been shelved since developing a blister on his right middle finger Aug. 26 against Atlanta. Manager Dave Roberts noted that the right-hander will pitch in some capacity as a part of a bullpen game in the series opener versus the Padres, but Sasaki won't be the "bulk" pitcher.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Sasaki (finger) will return during next week's series against the Padres, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Sasaki made it through an extended side session Wednesday (48 pitches) and is now ready to return, though the team is still undecided on whether he will start or pitch multiple innings out of the bullpen against San Diego. While the 24-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance, he has a 4.60 ERA and 1.7 HR/9 this season. A bullpen role in the postseason seems likely for a Dodgers club chasing its third straight championship.

Sasaki (finger) tossed 48 pitches during his live bullpen session Wednesday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Sasaki's live session Wednesday came in lieu of a start that he originally lined up to make against the Reds on Thursday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Sasaki's session went well, and the team will now decide whether the right-hander returns as a starter or reliever for the rest of the regular season. Sasaki figures to operate out of the bullpen during the playoffs, though he would be an option for the rotation if a spot opens up due to injury.

Manager Dave Roberts revealed that Sasaki (finger) will throw a simulated game Wednesday and not make a start later in the week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The Dodgers are still undecided on whether Sasaki will make a start before the regular season concludes or if he will return as a reliever. The right-hander threw a bullpen session Monday and was under consideration to return Thursday versus the Reds. The 24-year-old got two relief appearances at the end of the 2025 regular season before being used out of the bullpen in the postseason.
