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.

Roki Sasaki has finally started progressing in a throwing program, and could find himself in the mix for the Dodgers' postseason plans.

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.
