Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Dazzles with seven shutout innings
Yamamoto (3-1) allowed five hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win Friday over the Rangers.
Yamamoto has rung up 10 strikeouts in two of his five starts so far. He hasn't allowed an earned run over his last three outings, giving up just one unearned run, 10 hits and four walks across 19 innings in that span. For the season, he's been stellar with 0.93 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 38:7 K:BB over 29 innings. Yamamoto largely lived up to the hype in his MLB debut season last year, and 2025 is shaping up to be even better for the 26-year-old right-hander. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Pirates, which is a favorable matchup.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Fans nine in Friday's win
Yamamoto (2-1) picked up the win Friday, scattering two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the Cubs. He struck out nine.
The right-hander continued his dominant beginning to 2025, delivering his second straight quality start without allowing an earned run. Yamamoto got stretched out to 103 pitches (64 strikes) in this one, racking up an impressive 33 called or swinging strikes along the way, and so far the Dodgers' plan to limit his workload to one start a week appears to be paying off. Through four outings, Yamamoto sports a 1.23 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB, and he'll look to keep rolling when he takes the bump for his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend against the Rangers.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: No run support in tough-luck loss
Yamamoto (1-1) took the loss after allowing an unearned run on three hits and three walks in six innings Friday against Philadelphia. He struck out five.
Yamamoto contained a loaded Phillies lineup Friday, but he received no run support and was outdueled by Jesus Luzardo's seven shutout frames for the Phillies. Yamamoto allowed a lone extra-base hit on the night, which ultimately led to Trea Turner stealing third base and coming home to score on a Yamamoto throwing error. The star right-hander has now tossed at least five innings and given up two runs or fewer in each of his first three starts this year, and up next is a matchup in Washington next week.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Fans 10 in no-decision
Yamamoto came away with a no-decision in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Tigers, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out 10.
After picking up a win back home in Japan during the Dodgers' season-opening set against the Cubs, Yamamoto was mostly sharp in his first stateside outing, tossing 58 of 91 pitches for strikes while fanning double-digit batters for the first time in his MLB career. The right-hander did serve up solo shots to Gleyber Torres (side) and Dillon Dingler to mar his performance, however. Yamamoto will take a 2.70 ERA and 14:3 K:BB through his first 10 innings of the season into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Notches win in Tokyo
Yamamoto (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Cubs in Tokyo after giving up one run on three hits and one walk across five innings. He struck out four.
The 26-year-old induced 11 swinging strikes on just 72 pitches, with the only damage against him coming via an RBI double by Miguel Amaya during the second inning. The shortness of the outing isn't surprising since the Dodgers dealt with an abbreviated spring training, and Yamamoto should be built up to a full workload before long. The right-hander struggled against the Padres during his MLB debut in South Korea nearly a year ago, but he delivered a strong start to 2025 on Tuesday while pitching in his home country of Japan.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Starting Game 1 in Japan
Yamamoto will start March 18 against the Cubs in the first game of the Tokyo Series, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Yamamoto worked up to five innings in his final Cactus League start Monday, giving up one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven batters. His strong finish in camp will give him plenty of momentum leading up to his return to his home country, though he will be tasked with facing a formidable lineup in his 2025 debut. Fellow Japanese-born righty Roki Sasaki will take the mound in Game 2.
