Shohei Ohtani Exits With Knee Inflammation
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (knee) was forced to make an early exit from Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. Ohtani exited the game in the top of the seventh inning due to left knee inflammation. Before leaving the game, Ohtani was 2-for-2 at the plate with a home run, one RBI, and two walks. Santiago Espinal took over the designated hitter spot for Ohtani for the rest of this game. Ohtani did have left knee surgery in 2019, so it's unclear if that has anything to do with this. The Dodgers should give an update on his status soon. For now, fantasy managers should consider Ohtani as day-to-day until further notice. UPDATE: The California Post's Jack Harris reports that Ohtani's knee injury is not considered serious, and he has a strong chance to be in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox.
