While Tyler Glasnow threw a spring-high 4 1/3 innings on Tuesday for the Dodgers against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Roki Sasaki was looking to get back in sync on the mound.

Sasaki allowed seven runs over his first two spring starts, but facing Chicago White Sox prospects on Tuesday, Sasaki marveled over four innings by allowing just one hit and one walk and striking out nine. With just a couple more starts left this spring before the Dodgers home opener in 15 days, Sasaki still needs to prove that he can be a fixture within the starting rotation.

Tuesday’s performance gave the Dodgers some optimism on how they view the young right-hander, with Dave Roberts saying that Sasaki’s outing was a boost of confidence moving forward, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com.

“There’s still value to getting hitters out and seeing guys swing and miss,” Roberts said. “We accomplished what we wanted to today, built him up. Obviously, built in some confidence, so just go from there.”

Kyle Tucker received a record-breaking contract from the Dodgers in January, and now received the most important gift of his life as he and his wife introduced a baby boy into the world. Tucker noted that his wife and son are both resting at home, and he is excited to see his family at home games at Dodger Stadium, per Doug Padilla of the Orange County Register.

“It’s exciting,” Tucker promised. “I’m looking forward to it. They’ll be out in L.A. with me and everything once the season starts, so I’m excited to see them again and just get ready for the season (and) play in meaningful games.”

Tucker is only 2-11 (.182 average) over six games this spring, so his newfound “dad strength” could see him mashing his first Dodger home run by the end of Cactus League play.

Santiago Espinal has survived the first two rounds of minor league camp reassignments as he continues to battle for a roster spot come opening day. As much as he has impressed offensively so far this spring, he has made his presence felt within the clubhouse as well, per the Los Angeles Times.

“[He’s fitting in] seamlessly,” Roberts said. “He’s a baseball player. It’s in his blood. You see it. He’s a smart player. He knows the type of player he needs to be to be a Major League player. He has fun playing, but there’s a focus when he plays. He plays with enthusiasm, which is tempered, which is great. You can see him and [Teoscar Hernández] obviously have a history. I love the player. I love the guy.”
