Key Points:
- Shohei Ohtani has been officially placed on the injured list by the Dodgers due to ongoing biceps and knee injuries, with speculation mounting that he may miss the playoffs entirely.
- Ohtani has not pitched since July 3 and his offensive performance has significantly declined, going just 6-for-52 since late August.
- Dylan Hernandez expressed doubts about Ohtani returning in 2024, suggesting the possibility he might not play at all this season, while Jack Harris remains optimistic about a playoff return.
- The Dodgers have taken a cautious approach with other injured stars but appear to have mismanaged Ohtani’s injury, potentially jeopardizing their postseason chances.
- Fans are advised to be skeptical of official Dodgers updates on Ohtani’s status, as the team has been unreliable in communicating the true extent of his condition.
