Yamamoto has been out for two months with a strained rotator cuff, but he has thrown two bullpen sessions and should face hitters next week.
Almost two months since Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto left his June 15 start with a strained rotator cuff, he is growing in confidence that he will be back soon. LOS ANGELES — It has been so long since Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched for the Dodgers, there has been time to wonder if he will pitch again this season.
“My shoulder is feeling good,” he said Wednesday. “I’m getting closer to the highest volume when I throw and I’m not really concerned with the injury itself.” Graterol could be seen crying as he left the mound Tuesday. The right-hander was unable to pitch due to a shoulder problem and was making his season debut. Eight pitches into it, he injured his right leg.
