Dodgers consider calling up Gavin Stone after Roki Sasaki injury

The Los Angeles Dodgers face a rotation challenge after Roki Sasaki left his start against the Atlanta Braves with a blister in the fourth inning. Sasaki, who has shown improvement since the All-Star break, is expected to be sidelined for at least 10 days. Manager Dave Roberts announced that Lauer will step into the starting role. Meanwhile, Gavin Stone, currently performing well in Triple-A with a 1.54 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 11.2 innings, is likely to be considered for the roster as the Dodgers approach the postseason. Stone has recovered from shoulder surgery and is ready to contribute.
