Shohei Ohtani Still Managing Knee Inflammation
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani's left-knee inflammation is not behind him, and manager Dave Roberts told 570 LA Sports' David Vassegh that it will be managed moving forward. Ohtani was held out of a game last week with knee inflammation, but he started the last four games at designated hitter for the Dodgers. The four-time All-Star is making his scheduled start on the mound on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, but he won't be in the lineup as the DH. It appears to be a day-to-day situation for the Japanese All-Star, with his next chance to return to the batting order coming on Friday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles after a scheduled off day on Thursday. The 31-year-old veteran left-handed slugger hasn't looked compromised at the plate at all lately, going 18-for-49 (.367) with five home runs, three doubles, a triple, 11 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 13 games in June. Ohtani has also gone deep five times in his last nine games. We think he'll be alright, and he's obviously a must-start as both a hitter and pitcher when he's active in fantasy.
