Placed on IL
The Dodgers placed Sasaki on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a blister on his right middle finger.
Analyse
Sasaki had a nice seven-game stretch with a 2.63 ERA and 1.12 WHIP prior to taking a no-decision in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta. He surrendered four runs to Atlanta as he developed the blister, which has now sent him to the injured list. In a corresponding move Thursday, the Dodgers recalled Seth Halvorsen from Triple-A Oklahoma City while Eric Lauer will take over Sasaki's rotation spot.

Bound for injured list
Manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta that Sasaki will be placed on the injured list after sustaining a blister on his right middle finger, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Analyse
Sasaki exited in the fourth inning of his start after developing the blister, and the team has already determined that the issue is severe enough to warrant a trip to the IL. The right-hander took a no-decision Wednesday, striking out three while allowing four earned runs on six hits and two walks across 3.1 innings. Rather than moving forward with a five-man rotation, the Dodgers will shift Eric Lauer back into the rotation to fill in as the team's sixth starter until Sasaki returns, per Harris.

Exits with blister
Sasaki was removed from Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to a blister on his right middle finger.
Analyse
It's unknown whether Sasaki's blister will delay his next start, but the Dodgers will likely monitor his status over the next few days before confirming the date of his next appearance. He exited Wednesday's game after giving up four earned runs on six hits and two walks while fanning three batters in 3.1 innings.
