Shohei Ohtani’s left knee is inflamed and sore from frequent landings while pitching, prompting the Dodgers to shut him down from throwing — though he’s still hitting. A recent bullpen session in Philly saw him throw over 30 pitches with full repertoire, feeling good enough for coach Mark Prior to call it routine, though they’ll monitor him tomorrow. Next up: another session in New York against the Mets, with increased intensity, to gauge his readiness. Manager Dave Roberts insists they’ll follow Ohtani’s lead — he knows his body best. Ohtani wants to return to pitching regularly but prioritizes postseason health, aiming for a comeback in September after a few more tune-up outings.
