Roki Sasaki says he has "no pain" in his right shoulder and is scheduled to pitch three simulated innings at Dodger Stadium over the weekend.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki feels good about his recovery, but he still has to take steps in his recovery.

Sasaki has been out since May with what the Dodgers called a shoulder impingement. Sasaki, who signed with Los Angeles out of Japan over the offseason, struggled through his first few appearances, going 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP in eight games.
