Manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta that Sasaki will be placed on the injured list after sustaining a blister on his right middle finger, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Sasaki exited in the fourth inning of his start after developing the blister, and the team has already determined that the issue is severe enough to warrant a trip to the IL. The right-hander took a no-decision Wednesday, striking out three while allowing four earned runs on six hits and two walks across 3.1 innings. Rather than moving forward with a five-man rotation, the Dodgers will shift Eric Lauer back into the rotation to fill in as the team's sixth starter until Sasaki returns, per Harris.
