The Dodgers rode the right arm of Yoshinobu Yamamoto over the Guardians Monday. Dave Roberts, though, revealed why he pulled him early.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto enjoyed a successful rookie season with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, though it was one that saw him make just 18 starts because of a right rotator cuff/triceps injury. That caused Yamamoto to miss nearly three months and served as some of the motivation he has to remain healthy this year.
