Shohei Ohtani Homers in Return from Knee Injury

Shohei Ohtani returned to the Dodgers lineup Friday against the Red Sox after being sidelined by a knee injury. He resumed duties as the leadoff hitter and DH, going 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double, and two runs scored in a 9-4 loss. Ohtani's market impact remains significant, highlighted by a 1-of-1 trading card selling for $11 million. He continues to play under his 10-year, $700 million contract signed in 2024.
