Rotation Plans

Roki Sasaki, who served as a key reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers during their 2025 World Series championship run, is expected to transition back to the starting rotation in 2026. Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes confirmed Sasaki will absolutely be in the rotation next season, with president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman echoing the team's view of him as a strong starter. This move follows Sasaki's injury-plagued season and successful late bullpen stint.
