As Shohei Ohtani continues to deal with a lingering knee injury, the Dodgers have opted to keep him out of the pitching rotation for his next scheduled start, which was originally set for Wednesday, July 22. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters Sunday that it may be a while until Ohtani returns to his duties as a pitcher, as L.A. aims to prioritize caution with its two-way superstar.
“His knee, we just want to continue to give it the best chance to kind of get into a good spot. And as he said, as we feel, it’s the pitching and the torque of landing on that leg that kind of gets it upset,” Robert explained, via the NY Post.
