Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Will not pitch on four days' rest
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Yoshinobu Yamamoto will not pitch on four days' rest for the rest of the regular season and postseason, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.Four days is considered "normal" rest, but Yamamoto has had at least five days off in between all 15 of his starts this season, a schedule which mimics what he was used to when he pitched in Japan. Even amidst their numerous rotation injuries, the Dodgers are not willing to alter the plan for the rookie right-hander down the stretch. Assuming Yamamoto sticks to a five-day rest schedule, he'll still line up for two starts this week. After he takes the hill Monday in Atlanta, Yamamoto would be on track to make his next start Sunday versus the Rockies at Dodger Stadium.
