Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) is expected to begin playing catch late next week, according to Dodger manager Dave Roberts. The 25-year-old has been doing exercises with a plyo ball in the meantime which has been his first activity since being shut down from throwing in mid-June. Yamamoto was placed on the 15-day injured list on June 16 after experiencing tightness in his throwing arm during a start on June 15, which he was eventually pulled from. While he has yet to face any setbacks in his recovery process, he is still several steps away from getting back on a mound, which leaves his potential return date in question. Before the injury, the right-hander was performing well with a 2.92 ERA and a stellar 1.07 WHIP in his first 74 MLB innings. While he remains sidelined, Landon Knack should be given ample opportunities to stay in the starting rotation.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was electric on Friday, tossing seven scoreless frames while punching out 10. Yamamoto only allowed five hits and didn't walk a batter in this one. The 26-year-old sophomore has taken his game to another level early in the season, throwing 18 consecutive scoreless innings and looking like a Cy Young-level pitcher. He now has a 0.93 ERA and 0.86 WHIP to go with 38 strikeouts in 29 IP. Yamamoto has been elite, and anyone lucky enough to have drafted him should be excited about what this season could bring.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2-1) allowed two hits and one walk while striking out nine across six scoreless innings in Friday's 3-0 win over the Chicago Cubs. He picked up his second win of the season. Yamamoto threw 103 pitches, landing 64 for strikes. The 26-year-old hasn't allowed an earned run over his last 12 innings while posting a 14:4 K:BB in his previous two starts. He owns a 1.23 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a 28:7 K:BB across 22 frames in 2025. Yamamoto will look to continue his scoreless-inning streak and remains a must-start in his next start on Thursday against the Texas Rangers in Arlington.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller

Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto looked dominant in five strong innings in his first start of the season, helping the Dodgers secure the 4-1 victory in the first game of the Tokyo Series. Yamamoto allowed three hits, one walk, and one earned run in five innings while picking up four strikeouts. He had the whole arsenal working against the Cubs, and his splitter was especially effective, drawing a 47% whiff rate. He threw the pitch a couple of miles per hour harder than he did last year, which seemed to make it even more effective. His great start to 2025 is a sharp contrast to his 2024 outing in South Korea when he allowed five runs in just one inning in his MLB debut. Yamamoto's next start will likely be in the Dodgers' series against the Tigers on March 27 through March 29, when the team starts the stateside portion of their regular season schedule.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

The Los Angeles Dodgers officially announced on Tuesday that right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start the first game of the 2025 regular season on March 18 against the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo, Japan. It was always expected that Yamamoto would start the first game in his native Japan, and now it's official. The 26-year-old second-year hurler allowed just a run on four hits while walking one and striking out seven in five innings in his final Cactus League start on Monday. In his three spring starts, he went eight innings and gave up five earned runs while walking two and striking out seven. For DFS purposes, the Cubs aren't the best season-opening matchup, but most fantasy managers that take Yamamoto as a low-end fantasy ace/high-end No. 2 will be throwing him out there to kick things off given his strikeout upside.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
