Should Dodgers Worry About Shohei Ohtani's Knee? Experts Weigh In
Dave Roberts said the Dodgers will keep Shohei Ohtani on a cautious pitching schedule as he recovers from left knee irritation and stays in the lineup as a hitter.
- On Saturday, Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to throw another bullpen session at Citi Field, but Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he does not expect the two-way superstar to return to the rotation by next week.
- Ohtani has not pitched in a game since July 3 because of left knee irritation, though he remains in the starting lineup regularly as the Dodgers manage his return to the mound.
- After throwing about 30 pitches off a mound Wednesday in Philadelphia, Ohtani continues progressing. "I think it's just to be fluid with Shohei," Roberts said, emphasizing the team's nimble approach to his recovery.
- Blake Snell made a second rehab start Friday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, while closer Edwin Diaz completed back-to-back rehab appearances and Tyler Glasnow is throwing to hitters.
- "I think he understands it's not about July, it's about October," Roberts said, signaling the defending World Series champions prioritize full health over an early return as they lead the West.
