Shohei Ohtani sat out Thursday’s Dodgers game due to lingering knee soreness — the same issue keeping him off the mound since July 3rd. Despite hitting a home run and driving in four runs in his last two games, the team prioritized rest after he reported renewed discomfort. He’s also battling a right biceps strain and even skipped the All-Star Game to get a knee injection. Manager Dave Roberts praised his recent plate discipline, and team doctors remain optimistic, noting no structural damage and steady improvement. They’re focused on a gradual return to pitching — not rushing him — while letting Ohtani continue as a designated hitter for now.
