Los Angeles – Shohei Ohtani could return to a major league mound in the next two weeks but Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki has paused his throwing program and is set for a lengthy layoff.

The Los Angeles Dodgers hoped that pitcher Roki Sasaki would return to the form he showed in Japan after a stint on the injured list. That time may be further away than the Dodgers anticipated.
