"Yamamoto [has] thrown twice this past week," manager Dave Roberts revealed Friday. "He [has] played catch out to 60 feet twice, and he’s supposed to play catch [on July 13]. There [has] been no soreness, no pain. So he’s in a good spot."

He began experiencing soreness in his right arm after throwing a career-high 106 pitches against the New York Yankees on June 7. He exited the Dodgers' June 15 game against the Kansas City Royals after just two innings.

Yamamoto has gone 6-2 with a 2.92 ERA over 14 starts (74.0 innings pitched) and 84 strikeouts in his first MLB season. The 25-year-old, who signed a 12-year, $325 million deal with the Dodgers this offseason, also boasts a 1.068 WHIP.
