Ohtani’s Knee Forces Pitching Pause | California News
Description
Shohei Ohtani’s knee woes are forcing a major shift: he’ll skip his Friday pitching start and the All-Star Game, though he’ll still DH through the weekend. The irritation, which flares when he pitches, has lingered for a month and now demands “interventions” during the break. While he’s played through it since June 11, this is the first time this season he’s missed a start solely due to the knee — a problem he suspects may stem from pitching mechanics, not his past 2019 surgery. With his MVP-caliber season still in full swing, the Dodgers are prioritizing his recovery, keeping him grounded while fans eagerly await his return to full form.
