Shohei Ohtani to Receive Scheduled Rest Day Amid Slump

Shohei Ohtani will sit out one of the final two games against the San Francisco Giants this week, though manager Dave Roberts has not yet determined if the break will occur Wednesday when Ohtani pitches or Thursday as a mental reset for the slumping superstar. Ohtani remains a focal point of the Dodgers' offense as they look to bolster production. His upcoming matchups, including potential plate appearances against Giants pitcher Ryan Borucki, remain a primary focus for analysts.
