Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Roki Sasaki left the game against the Atlanta Braves due to an apparent finger injury.
Sasaki had been struggling without his best stuff before being pulled. He was in the fourth inning, where he had already allowed a run and had two runners on base, one at second and another at third, with one out.
Pitching coach Mark Prior, translator Will Ireton, and the Dodgers trainer examined his hand and called for Sasaki to be pulled.
The Dodgers announced that it was a blister on the middle finger of his right hand.
