Dodgers Notes: Shohei Ohtani Prediction, Andrew Heaney Making Case, Roki Sasaki Fixed?

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5, on Monday and fell to 84-66 on the year.

In other news, manager Dave Roberts has a prediction on superstar Shohei Ohtani. He has been batting .333 with an OPS of 1.163 during the month of September, as the skipper has some massive expectations for the three-time MVP.

Additionally, the recently-acquired southpaw Andrew Heaney has had back-to-back showings in Triple-A that certainly make a case for him being promoted to the majors. The veteran put up career numbers during his last stint with the Dodgers in 2022, and can be a force to be reckoned with in October if he can replicate that production.

Finally, speaking of pitchers having successful outings in Triple-A, right-hander Roki Sasaki seems to have gotten his velocity back up after his most recent rehab start. The 23-year-old phenom had a drop in his once-electric fastball, but after raising his average heater velocity by 4.2 mph in between starts, things look to be headed in the right direction.
