Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was used to pitching once a week in Japan, so the Dodgers have given him at least five days off before every start this season. Manager Dave Roberts says they won’t ask him to pitch more frequently during the postseason. ATLANTA — When they signed Yoshinobu Yamamoto last winter, the Dodgers made a commitment to keeping the 26-year-old right-hander on a schedule as close as possible to what he was used to in Japan.
“I’m not saying it isn’t a possibility but it’s still unlikely,” Roberts said of starting Yamamoto on ‘regular’ rest in the postseason. “With what we’ve done, we’re going to try to give him as much rest as he’s had.In Japan, Yamamoto was used to pitching once a week. The Dodgers have started Yamamoto on five days of rest eight times, six or more days eight times.
This is the second fracture in the same toe suffered by Barnes. He spent time on the IL last month with the first injury and was able to return in 10 days. Roberts said the Dodgers hope to have Barnes back from this injury in time for the postseason.
