Shohei Ohtani Diagnosed With Thigh Contusion
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (thigh) was diagnosed with a contusion in his right thigh after leaving an 8-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies early on Wednesday. Ohtani started the game on the mound and suffered the injury when Orlando Arcia struck him with a 93.7 mph comebacker in the fourth inning. The right-hander stayed in to complete the frame and wound up yielding five earned runs on nine hits with three strikeouts against no walks on the night. Ohtani, also the Dodgers' designated hitter, went 1-for-2 with a double and a walk before the team pinch-hit Alex Call for him in the eighth. The Dodgers had already scheduled an off day for Ohtani on Thursday before this minor injury cropped up, and manager Dave Roberts said he's "hopeful" the three-time MVP will return to the lineup Friday against the San Diego Padres.
