Ohtani’s Knee Keeps Him Off the Mound | California News
Description
Shohei Ohtani’s knee woes keep mounting as he’s ruled out for Friday’s start against the Diamondbacks — a setback that also sidelines him for the Philly trip and the 2026 All-Star Game. Despite missing the mound, he’ll stay in the lineup as a designated hitter, keeping his offensive impact alive. The Dodgers are prioritizing his long-term health with targeted knee interventions ahead of the second half — a crucial stretch for both Ohtani and the team. Fans are watching closely to see if he can return to his dominant form soon.
