MLB.com reported on the 7th that Yamamoto will start the home game against the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium at 11:10 a.m. on the 11th (Korea time).
Ohtani made two previous minor league rehabilitation appearances. The number of pitches and innings are not sufficiently secured.
However, the Dodgers are having difficulty operating the starting rotation at the end of the season. Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw are on the injured list (IL), while Walker Buehler and Bobby Miller are sluggish among the existing starters. For this reason, the Dodgers hope Yamamoto will return as soon as possible to lead the rotation.
Coach Dave Roberts said in an interview with local media on the 10th, `I think that's enough for the ball"I don't know what the command will be like, but we think he can make four starts the rest of the season. "If you take the mound four times and increase the number of innings and pitches, the stage after that will be ready." In other words, the plan is aimed at the postseason.

He struck out three, and his fastball speed of 26 out of 53 pitches averaged 96.7 miles and 95.4 miles. In addition, he mixed curves, sliders, and cutters and threw them. At that time, the reason for the only two innings was because he exhausted his strength by throwing 17 pitches against big league catcher Omar Narvaez.
Earlier on the 29th of last month, the first Triple-A rehabilitation plate recorded one hit, two strikeouts, and one run in two innings. He pitched four innings in two games, marking three hits and two walks, five strikeouts, three runs and a 6.75 ERA.
Yamamoto, who wore a Dodgers uniform last winter for 12 years and $325 million (about 435.3 billion won), pitched 74 innings in 14 games before taking the IL in June, recording a 6-2 record, a 2.92 ERA, 84 strikeouts, WHIP 1.07 and a 0.221 hit rate. He was considered to be pitching at the price of his Major League debut season, but he was eventually forced to quit voluntarily while pitching against the Kansas City Royals on June 16.
Even if Yamamoto returns, it will be difficult to throw more than five innings for the time being. It is unclear whether he will be able to secure more than 90 pitches in four appearances in the remaining three weeks. Yamamoto, however, is the highest paid player in the major leagues. You can't waste your time.
Roberts said, `This fall baseball is the first postseason for Yamamoto. But he's already thrown a lot of big games. We expect him because of the fall baseball," he said, expressing his willingness to be selected as a starter.
