Dodgers place Shohei Ohtani on 15-day IL, recall top prospect Josue De Paula
- The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, a move retroactive to Monday that sidelines the four-time MVP for at least two weeks.
- Persistent soreness in his right biceps and left knee hampered Ohtani's performance; he managed seven hits and 22 strikeouts over his past 54 at-bats, prompting the roster move.
- In an unprecedented roster move, the Dodgers are promoting top prospect Josue De Paula from Double-A Tulsa to fill the designated hitter vacancy, joining the team Friday in Miami.
- Holding an 89-57 record, the Dodgers are fighting for a top-two National League seed, which would guarantee a first-round bye while chasing their 13th National League West title in 14 seasons.
- Ohtani remains shut down from pitching for the rest of the season and is eligible to return September 23 with five regular-season games remaining; Roberts expressed confidence he'll be in an "adequate spot" upon returning.
