Episode Details

Shohei Ohtani was scratched from the Dodgers’ lineup Tuesday after a rough return from injury, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Monday — his first game back in four days. Despite feeling fine post-game, manager Dave Roberts opted for caution amid lingering knee and biceps soreness, as Ohtani now focuses solely on hitting after pitching his final games. He’s expected back Wednesday and will get more rest throughout the season, teaching Roberts a hard lesson: even baseball’s most transcendent talent isn’t invincible. The manager also noted that mature stars like Ohtani are more willing than younger ones — think Freddie Freeman — to embrace scheduled downtime for long-term health.
