Dodgers\' Yoshinobu Yamamoto To Start Tuesday
Yoshinobu Yamamoto will rejoin the Los Angeles Dodgers next week and take the mound on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs.
The right-hander has been on the injured list with a rotator cuff strain since June 16.
In his two Triple-A rehab starts, Yamamoto threw 31 pitches and 53 pitches, so he will be on a pitch limit in his first start off the injured list.
\"I think the stuff will be there,\" Dave Roberts said. \"I\'m not sure about how the command is going to be. So I think the way we\'re looking at it is we\'re going to get four starts from him (before the postseason), and if we can log four starts and build up volume, we\'ll be ready to go beyond that.\"
Yamamoto, 26, had a 2.92 ERA with 84 strikeouts in 14 starts and 74 innings before the shoulder injury.
