Shohei Ohtani (biceps) won't play Saturday for Dodgers vs. Padres
Los Angeles Times • • sports
Key Points:
- Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani pitched six innings against the Padres, allowing three runs over 110 pitches but exited early due to a right biceps concern and ongoing left knee inflammation.
- Ohtani revealed the biceps issue is a recurrence of a problem from earlier this season, which had not been previously disclosed to the public or manager Dave Roberts.
- Manager Roberts indicated Ohtani will rest on Saturday and may skip his final pitching start before the All-Star break to prioritize recovery.
- Ohtani, a six-time All-Star and starting designated hitter for the National League, is unlikely to pitch in the All-Star Game due to his injury and rotation schedule.
- The Dodgers mounted a comeback after Ohtani's exit, with Teoscar Hernández delivering a key bases-loaded hit to help secure a 4-3 victory over the Padres.
