Yoshinobu Yamamoto (26), who received a total of $325 million (approximately 432 billion won) over 12 years, the highest amount ever paid to a pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB), and wore the Los Angeles Dodgers uniform, is starting to make a comeback.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts met with local reporters on the 26th (Korean time) and announced that Yamamoto will make a rehabilitation appearance on the 29th wearing the uniform of Oklahoma City Baseball Club, a Triple-A team under the Dodgers.

According to MLB.com, Yamamoto is scheduled to pitch out of the bullpen on the 27th and then pitch two innings against the Round Rock Express (affiliate of the Texas Rangers) on the 29th.

If no abnormalities are found in the game against Round Rock, which is his first appearance since the injury, he is expected to make one more rehabilitation appearance and then return to the major league in early 한국을 September.

Yamamoto was placed on the injured list (IL) on June 17 with shoulder muscle soreness.

It was initially reported as a rotator cuff injury, but was later revised to triceps pain.

Yamamoto, who has been rehabilitating for over two months, pitched two innings in a practice game similar to a real game on the 23rd, and recorded a top speed of 96 miles per hour (about 154.5 km).

Yamamoto went 6-2 with a 2.92 ERA in 14 games before being sidelined.
