Injured Dodgers Pitcher Scheduled for Minor League Rehab Start Wednesday

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is set to begin his rehab assignment on Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City after nearly two months on the injured list.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed the rookie right-hander will throw two innings, and if all goes well, he may make one more rehab start before rejoining the big league club.

The 26-year-old right-hander had a strong start to the season, posting a 6-2 record with a 2.92 ERA in 14 starts before being placed on the 15-day injured list on June 16. MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi highlighted the significance of Yamamoto's return, especially as the Dodgers approach the postseason."Five starters potentially for four spots in the playoff rotation. That includes Stone, Kershaw, Flaherty, and possibly Glasnow. A lot of big decisions ahead, but the key step is that Yamamoto starts tomorrow in the same series that Jacob deGrom pitches for Round Rock tonight.
