PITCHING REPORT: Roki Sasaki’s spring debut was a rough one. He faced nine hitters, retired four (three on strikeouts) and gave up three runs on three hits (two doubles) and two walks. He was scheduled to pitch two innings but was pulled with one on and one out in the second inning having thrown 36 pitches. … River Ryan saw his first game action since Tommy John surgery in August 2024. Ryan struck out Nolan Arenado and walked a batter but escaped the inning when Dalton Rushing threw the runner out trying to steal second base. … Edwin Diaz made his spring debut with the Dodgers, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning. He expects to make one more Cactus League appearance this week before leaving to join Team Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic.
