The Los Angeles Dodgers have received several positive news that restores optimism in their current campaign with the imminent return of three important pitchers to the mound. After Tuesday’s game, manager Dave Roberts shared promising updates, highlighting that the long-awaited Roki Sasaki would already be back, while veterans Blake Treinen and Blake Snell are ready to face hitters after their respective injuries.

The biggest news revolves around Roki Sasaki, the Japanese jewel whose arrival in Major League Baseball has generated enormous excitement. Sasaki has been out since May, spending nearly 60 days on the injured list due to shoulder impingement tears. During his rehabilitation, there were serious doubts about whether he could even make his MLB debut this season, frustrating a fan base that was eagerly looking forward to seeing him on the field.

Dave Roberts dispelled much of that uncertainty with a statement full of optimism. “Roki has been trending. Roki is not feeling pain. The flat base, the velocity, the effort, the intensity, all that has really improved. So it’s been good. Physically, he looks good. I’m not sure when he’s going to get on the mound, but I’m pretty optimistic.”

Only good news for the Dodgers

Sasaki’s return is not the only reason for the Dodgers to celebrate, as they are also about to welcome back a key piece in Blake Treinen, a veteran whose dominant arm, when healthy, is vital for the final innings. Treinen has dealt with injuries in the past, but his presence brings experience and an elite option in high-pressure situations.

Additionally, the availability of Blake Snell also represents a significant boost. The two-time Cy Young Award winner, who signed with the Dodgers in the offseason, has had a difficult start to his time with the team, dealing with injuries. His return is great news for a team that has been suffering with physical issues, but now seems to be leaving that behind.

An extra motivation for the Dodgers

The returns of Roki Sasaki, Blake Treinen and Blake Snell are not only good news, but also a vital boost to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bigger ambitions, such as the World Series. In a long and demanding season, the recovery of important players is an immense relief and a clear sign that the team is strengthening at the right time.

Dave Roberts can breathe a little easier and plan better for what’s to come. The Dodgers are getting important people back and the excitement to go all out is growing for both players and fans alike.

College Football Preview 2025: Syracuse Orange

2024 Recap Despite never having been a head coach before, Fran Brown hit the ground running in his first year at Syracuse. The Orange finished 10-3 and ranked No. 20 in the final AP Poll, their best season in six years. A major reason for that success was Ohio State transfer quarterback Kyle McCord, who led the nation with 4,779 passing yards — 466 more than any other player. While McCord is now gone, Syracuse could still field a strong passing attack in 2025 with Notre Dame transfer Steve Angeli under center and a promising group of wide receivers. Improvement on defense will be key, particularly along the defensive front. Unfortunately for the Orange, they face the toughest schedule in the ACC, with nearly all of their biggest games scheduled to take place on the road. Biggest Strength: A passing […]

College Football Preview 2025: Stanford Cardinal

2024 Recap Stanford’s first season in the ACC looked much like its final three in the Pac-12. The Cardinal finished 3-9 for the fourth consecutive year, marking the program’s worst four-year stretch since 1958–61. In search of a new direction, Stanford brought in former star quarterback Andrew Luck as its general manager. One of Luck's first moves was firing head coach Troy Taylor. He then hired Frank Reich — his former head coach with the Indianapolis Colts in 2019 — as Stanford’s interim coach. Reich, who brings six years of NFL head coaching experience, faces an uphill battle revitalizing an offense that struggled last season and now enters 2025 without its starting quarterback and top two receivers. Biggest Strength: A solid second and third levels of the defense Stanford returns four of five starters from its secondary, including standout cornerback […]

Hurzeler: It’s not a one-man show at Brighton – we’re a family

Everton, away. That is where Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler's Premier League story began just over a year ago. While Sunday's return to Merseyside will be in a brand-new stadium, memories of that Goodison Park bow in August 2024 will be forever etched in the young manager's mind. "I thought I'd prepared myself, but when the game started I was just impressed by how loud it was, how intense the Premier League is," Hurzerler tells Sky Sports. "I remember very well how my emotions felt. It was a nice feeling afterwards, but during the game it was a tough experience and one that I learned a lot from. Overall, it was an experience I wanted, it was very positive."A 3-0 victory set the youngest permanent Premier League head coach off on the front foot. Another step on a journey that […]
