Ohtani Sidelined Again as Dodgers Weigh Injured List Stint After Right Arm Discomfort
Shohei Ohtani missed the lineup again after a swing aggravated right-arm discomfort, and manager Dave Roberts said an injured-list stint is possible.
- On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers left Shohei Ohtani out of the lineup again as manager Dave Roberts considers placing him on the injured list for 15 days to address his arm injury.
- Ohtani, who leads the Dodgers with 30 home runs and 80 RBIs, aggravated his right arm during a swing on Monday. Roberts expressed regret about not placing him on the IL last week when soreness first emerged.
- First baseman Freddie Freeman also missed Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds due to right knee soreness. The Dodgers are already managing absences of center fielder Andy Pages and backup catcher Dalton Rushing.
- The Dodgers are off Thursday and open a seven-game trip in Miami on Friday. Roberts noted that "anything should be on the table" regarding Ohtani's status to ensure optimal health entering September.
- Right-Hander Roki Sasaki threw a simulated game Wednesday after going on the injured list last month and could return shortly. Roberts remains confident that Ohtani will contribute to the Dodgers' World Series championship bid.
