While the team boasts a <em data-start=\"290\" data-end=\"315\">powerful pitching staff<\/em> with <em data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"358\">World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/em> and <em data-start=\"363\" data-end=\"378\">Shohei Ohtani<\/em>, the management, led by <em data-start=\"403\" data-end=\"435\">team president Andrew Friedman<\/em>, is also counting on <em data-start=\"457\" data-end=\"470\">Roki Sasaki<\/em> to make a big impact this year. However, the <em data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"525\">Dodgers<\/em> have made a decision to keep Sasaki out of the <em data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"606\">upcoming World Baseball Classic<\/em> (WBC), despite the star pitcher being eligible to play for <em data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"673\">Japan<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"739\">SASAKI\u2019S EXCLUSION FROM WBC: A CAREFUL MOVE FOR THE DODGERS<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"1139\">Sasaki, who was a sensation in <em data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"779\">Japan<\/em> and is a promising young talent, missed much of the <em data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"845\">2025 season<\/em> recovering from surgery on his right shoulder. Given the injury concerns, the <em data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"933\">Dodgers<\/em> have opted to keep Sasaki off the Japanese <em data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"989\">WBC roster<\/em>, and the decision came directly from the team. According to Sasaki, it was the <em data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1088\">Dodgers\u2019 decision<\/em> to not allow him to participate in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1526\">Sasaki, however, has no complaints about the decision. He understands that the <em data-start=\"1220\" data-end=\"1229\">Dodgers<\/em> are prioritizing his long-term health, particularly after his shoulder surgery, over his participation in the <em data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1345\">WBC<\/em>. \u201cI understand that they just want to protect my health,\u201d Sasaki said. The team\u2019s decision underscores their caution as Sasaki aims to establish himself in <em data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1525\">Major League Baseball<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1585\">SASAKI\u2019S ROLE WITH THE DODGERS: EXPECTATIONS FOR 2026<\/h3>\n<p>https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTWQODcYo6ZCs1jX-L4UrSz-LYNjxf6ft7SKg&#038;s<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"2022\">While Sasaki will not compete in the <em data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1629\">WBC<\/em>, the <em data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1644\">Dodgers<\/em> have big plans for him in 2026. He has been slated to be the <em data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1721\">No. 5 starter<\/em> in the <em data-start=\"1729\" data-end=\"1746\">team\u2019s rotation<\/em>, a crucial role for a young pitcher trying to prove himself against <em data-start=\"1815\" data-end=\"1837\">Major League hitters<\/em>. Sasaki is known for his dominant <em data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1882\">fastball<\/em> and <em data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1897\">splitter<\/em>, but his pitching arsenal remains somewhat limited, making his health and development even more important for the <em data-start=\"2012\" data-end=\"2021\">Dodgers<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2533\">The <em data-start=\"2028\" data-end=\"2037\">Dodgers<\/em> have a vested interest in ensuring that Sasaki doesn\u2019t overexert himself early in the season, especially after his shoulder surgery. The team has communicated to him that they are concerned with protecting his <em data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2260\">arm health<\/em>, and that they want to avoid any additional stress on his shoulder while he adjusts to the <em data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2357\">MLB<\/em> level. Sasaki\u2019s participation in the <em data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2400\">WBC<\/em> would have risked additional strain, which is something the <em data-start=\"2461\" data-end=\"2470\">Dodgers<\/em> want to avoid, especially during the early part of his career.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2535\" data-end=\"2583\">DODGERS CLOSELY MONITORING SASAKI\u2019S PROGRESS<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2585\" data-end=\"2949\">Sasaki will remain with the team throughout <em data-start=\"2629\" data-end=\"2646\">spring training<\/em>, where the <em data-start=\"2658\" data-end=\"2682\">Dodgers\u2019 medical staff<\/em> will monitor his condition closely.
