Before the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the San Francisco Giants, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provided a very pessimistic outlook on rookie and free agent signing Roki Sasaki. His comments sparked worry over whether Sasaki would pitch again in 2025.

Ohtani has since thrown two more live sessions. Even Sunday afternoon, Roberts said he wasn’t sure exactly when Ohtani’s highly anticipated pitching return would come.

Shohei Ohtani could return to a major league mound in the next two weeks but Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki has paused his throwing program and is set for a lengthy layoff.

Salernitana’s fight for survival has veered into chaos, with a bout of food poisoning hospitalising much of the squad halfway through their relegation showdown with Sampdoria.
