Is Yoshinobu Yamamoto available? Dodgers reveal Game 7 plans for Game 6 starting pitcher

All hands on deck.

Yep, even the Los Angeles Dodgers' Game 6 starting pitcher.

It's Game 7 of the World Series, and the Dodgers won't be taking any chances. Shohei Ohtani is getting the ball as the starting pitcher against the Toronto Blue Jays, for good reason, but after him, manager Dave Roberts could turn to anyone.

Is Yoshinobu Yamamoto available?

Yes, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is available for Game 7 of the World Series out of the Dodgers' bullpen.

Yamamoto just started Game 6 on Friday night and went 6.0 innings.

That was after he had thrown a complete game in each of his two prior postseason starts.

The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya reported that Yamamoto was slated to play catch before Saturday night's game.

Roberts told reporters, via Ardaya, that Yamamoto is "definitely interested" in getting on the mound in Game 7.

Ardaya added in his post on X: "Everyone's available tonight, (Roberts) added."

In the past, teams would've shied away from something like using Yamamoto in Game 7.

But this is the last game of the entire baseball season. And one team is going to go home sad.

The Dodgers, with Ohtani, Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and a whole bullpen's worth of arms, plan to make their best run at a win.
