Shohei Ohtani's Health and a Possible Lockout Loom over an Uncertain Offseason for the Dodgers
- On Thursday, Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani vowed to return as a two-way player after the Milwaukee Brewers swept the team in the National League Championship Series with a 6-4 victory in Game 4.
- Left knee soreness and right biceps inflammation forced Ohtani off the mound after July 3, and he was officially shut down from pitching in early September, limiting his ability to contribute as a two-way player.
- Ohtani recorded an 8-2 record and a 1.79 earned-run average across 14 starts before injuries sidelined him. Regarding potential offseason surgery, he told reporters it is "hard to tell" whether procedures will be necessary.
- Owner Mark Walter faces investigations into his insurance empire and may need more than $20 billion to recapitalize companies, while the Dodgers have $347 million committed to 14 players for next year.
- Ohtani confirmed his intent to return to pitching in 2027, stating, "Yes, that's the plan, I intend to do both," as he prepares to utilize the offseason for recovery and improvement.
