Roki Sasaki was one of the Dodgers’ most trusted relievers during their march to a World Series title this season. But he is slated to begin 2026 where he began '25: in Los Angeles’ rotation.

Via The Orange County Register, Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said recently that Sasaki will “absolutely” be in the team’s starting rotation next season, and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman concurred.

"I think for us, [using Sasaki as a reliever] was about trying to get his delivery back. I feel like we made a lot of progress on that," Friedman told the Register. "So for us, we’re definitely viewing him as a starter and a really good one, and we’ll continue to work this offseason and put him in the best position to be ready in Spring Training to help us win again.”
