Shohei Ohtani to Miss All-Star Game Due to Knee Injury

Shohei Ohtani is dealing with a left knee issue that will require the joint to be drained on Sunday. Despite homering for the third time in four games on Friday, the injury forced him to miss his scheduled pitching start against the Diamondbacks. Ohtani will sit out the All-Star Game to focus on rest and recovery, with the Dodgers monitoring his status closely as they navigate the physical setback.
