Roki Sasaki Struggles in Dodgers Debut as Rotation Contest Begins

Roki Sasaki struggled in his spring training debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowing three runs and two walks over one and one-third innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks.Manager Dave Roberts attributed the performance to mechanical issues and poor fastball command as the pitcher works to secure a starting rotation spot following an injury-shortened season.The outing occurred alongside other team developments, including Freddie Freeman hitting a two-run double and Kyle Tucker joining the roster on a $240M contract.
