Los Angeles Dodgers' standout player Shohei Ohtani has been dealing with a bruised hamstring, as confirmed by manager Dave Roberts. The injury occurred when Ohtani was hit by a pickoff throw during the team's recent homestand. Roberts emphasized the importance of Ohtani taking it easy to allow for proper healing.
