"Yamamoto is coming off of one of the best postseason pitching performances of all time and a strong World Baseball Classic campaign, Glasnow has had a strong spring and has pitched into the fifth inning in both of his last two appearances and Ohtani is back on track after a lengthy break from pitching, making a 4.1 inning start Wednesday and holding the San Francisco Giants scoreless."
"Sasaki proved he could be effective in the majors last season with an impressive bullpen stretch, allowing just one run through 12.2 innings pitched. Manager Dave Roberts insisted the right-hander would be in the starting rotation come the beginning of the season despite his struggles during the spring."
"Sheehan had a quiet spring, making just three appearances, but only allowed four runs through 7.1 innings pitched and struck out four batters in his most recent outing against the Chicago Cubs. He returned from Tommy John surgery in 2025, and served as an important arm."
The Dodgers reassigned right-hander River Ryan to minor league camp, solidifying their Opening Day rotation. With Blake Snell injured and Gavin Stone dealing with shoulder soreness, the team will likely maintain a six-man rotation featuring returning stars Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and Shohei Ohtani. Yamamoto delivered exceptional postseason performances, Glasnow showed strong spring form, and Ohtani returned to pitching effectively after an extended break. Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan, and Justin Wrobleski secured the remaining rotation spots through spring training competition. Sasaki demonstrated major league effectiveness with impressive bullpen work, while Sheehan, recovering from Tommy John surgery, limited runs and struck out batters in recent appearances.
