Shohei Ohtani To Return As A DH On Thursday
Shohei Ohtani (forearm) is expected to return as the team’s primary DH on Thursday. Ohtani probably won’t pitch again in 2020, and his full-time return to the lineup bumps Justin Upton to the bench with Jo Adell claiming a spot in the Los Angeles outfield. Although the effective lack of pitching eligibility dents Ohtani’s fantasy value, the 26-year-old is a more than rosterable hitter as long as his forearm allows him to hit without discomfort. With a .833 OPS, 22 stolen bases, and a rock-solid plate approach over his first two MLB seasons, Ohtani should remain rostered in all leagues despite his injury.
