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.

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