Shohei Ohtani Leaves Dodgers Game vs. Pirates in 7th Inning with Left Knee Inflammation
- On Thursday, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani exited the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the seventh inning due to left knee inflammation, the team announced.
- Before leaving, Ohtani hit his 13th home run of the season, a single, and drew walks, reaching base in all four of his at-bats while maintaining a.299 average with 39 RBI and 46 runs.
- Dodgers starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski also exited early with a right hamstring contusion after Bryan Reynolds hit a comebacker that struck him while covering first base.
- Santiago Espinal pinch-hit for Ohtani, singling to load the bases, while the team indicated Thursday's injuries should not affect the rotation with Ohtani not scheduled to pitch until Tuesday.
- Any injury to Ohtani draws significant concern given the two-way star's critical role as both the Dodgers' key hitter and one of baseball's best pitchers.
