Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a bullpen session Sunday and make his next rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Yamamoto began his rehab assignment with Oklahoma City on Wednesday, when he allowed a solo home run and struck out two batters across two innings while throwing 31 pitches. He has been on the IL since mid-June due to a right rotator cuff strain, and he didn't begin throwing bullpen sessions until early August. Yamamoto is aiming to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation in mid-September, and he'll need a couple more rehab starts before doing so. In the 14 starts before the injury, he went 6-2 with a 2.92 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 84:17 K:BB over 74 innings.
