Episode Details

Shohei Ohtani’s pitching comeback hit a bump in the road as he canceled a bullpen session due to lingering knee discomfort — a setback after a July injection and recent regression in throwing. Manager Dave Roberts remains upbeat, noting Ohtani’s full health for hitting and running, keeping him in the DH role. The Dodgers are cautiously optimistic about a late-August return but must plan for his absence this week, with flexibility from an upcoming off day. Meanwhile, Blake Snell is on track to return from elbow surgery around the same time, while Kiké Hernández and Edwin Díaz are expected back from the IL early next week — offering some much-needed roster stability.
