The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated Yoshinobu Yamamoto from the injured list, designated veteran for assignment.
The Dodgers have activated Yamamoto as expected ahead of his start against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The start marks Yamamoto's return from a lengthy stint on the IL with a sprained rotator cuff. Yamamoto last pitched on June 15 against the Kansas City Royals, allowing one hit, one walk, and giving up no earned runs before exiting the game after just two innings because of the injury.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts previously forecasted that Yamamoto could return around mid-September, which Yamamoto is doing with his start Tuesday. Yamamoto previously played Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan before signing with the Dodgers. In NPB, Yamamoto posted an outstanding 1.82 ERA and 922 strikeouts over six years with the Orix Buffaloes. He additionally was a three-time Pacific League MVP, and four-time Pacific League ERA and strikeout champion.
