I think the Dodgers would rather go with Snell on regular rest than Yamamoto on short rest. Pitchers in Japan are used to 6 days rest so I don’t think you get the best out of Yamamoto by throwing him out there 3 times in a series. If they wanted to consider using him that way, they would have started him in game 1.
