Ohtani out of Dodgers' lineup for 3rd straight day dealing with left knee, right biceps discomfort

Manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani will hit in the cage Saturday as the Dodgers weigh a 15-day injured list stint for the two-way star.

  • For the first time since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers on a 10-year, $700 million deal, Shohei Ohtani missed his third consecutive game on Saturday against the Washington Nationals.
  • Ohtani, battling right biceps and left knee pain, last played Wednesday, when he grimaced while striking out four times in a performance that prompted the team to sideline him.
  • Manager Dave Roberts reported progress, saying Ohtani would hit in the cage Saturday to test his status, adding he is "hopeful, but I wouldn't say confident," the star avoids the IL.
  • If the team places Ohtani on the injured list by Sunday, the move can be backdated a maximum three days to Thursday; a stint requires a minimum 15-day absence due to his two-way status.
  • Sunday serves as a crucial day for the Dodgers to determine whether Ohtani requires injured list placement, with the team's response dependent on his physical condition moving forward.
