Roki Sasaki exits game early with blister on finger

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki left Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the bottom of the fourth inning due to a blister on his right middle finger. Prior to his exit, Sasaki pitched 3 1/3 innings, allowing four earned runs over 66 pitches. He faced a series of baserunners before Sean Murphy doubled, prompting a mound visit from coaches and his eventual removal from the game. This outing marked Sasaki's shortest since the All-Star break and was a contrast to his recent performances, as he had a 3.05 ERA in his last seven second-half starts.
