Ohtani Injured List Uncertainty

Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts Unsure If Shohei Ohtani Will Avoid Injured List

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is hopeful but not confident that Shohei Ohtani will avoid the injured list due to his absence from the lineup due to lingering pain in his right biceps. This is the first time he has missed two consecutive games and hasn't pitched since July 3. Despite a "spa day" where Ohtoni rested, watched the game from the dugout and didn't do any baseball activities, Roberts said Friday was a day to "start getting his body moving a little bit." An MRI scan of the area around his biceps and neck showed no structural damage, a promising sign. Despite this, the Dodgers have not officially ruled out Ohtania's return to pitching.
