Yoshinobu Yamamoto Shines in First Game Back After Injury Layoff (Sports)
September 10, 2024
The Dodgers starting pitching rotation has faced some injuries recently, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s return to the mound came at the perfect time. Yamamoto has been out since June due to a right shoulder injury, and made his return earlier tonight. He had a strong performance in 4-innings, striking out eight, and only allowing one run on four hits in a 3-6 Dodgers’ loss to the Chicago Cubs at home.
The Dodgers will count on Yamamoto to be a key part of their rotation throughout the Playoffs in October. Other pitchers on the injury list include Tyler Glasnow (elbow), Clayton Kershaw (bone spur in toe) and Gavin Stone (shoulder).
