ANAHEIM, Calif. — Yoshinobu Yamamoto will return to the Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation next week after missing nearly three months with a right arm injury. Yamamoto will start Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium against the Chicago Cubs, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says. The $325 million right-hander made two rehab starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but the pitching-thin Dodgers aren't waiting any longer to find out whether Yamamoto can contribute down the stretch. The 26-year-old Yamamoto has been on the injured list since June 16 with what the Dodgers called a right triceps injury. Roberts previously indicated the injury was also a rotator cuff strain.
