Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki has been sidelined since May 9 with a shoulder impingement. With his absence coming up on three months, though, Sasaki appears to be making significant progress toward a return,

When Sasaki was placed on the injured list May 10 with a right shoulder injury, it effectively allowed him a chance to reset his season. The reset culminated with a bullpen session Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. Afterward, he spoke to reporters for the first time in nearly three months.

Roki Sasaki says he has "no pain" in his right shoulder and is scheduled to pitch three simulated innings at Dodger Stadium over the weekend.
