Ohtani Eyed for Rotation Role Amid Dodgers Pitching Instability

Following Roki Sasaki's placement on the injured list with a finger blister, speculation has intensified regarding Shohei Ohtani potentially joining the Dodgers' starting rotation to address ongoing instability. Ohtani remains a central figure in the team's pitching plans alongside the potential return of Tyler Glasnow. During the recent series finale against the Braves, Ohtani faced Chris Sale, who notably threw his fastest pitches since 2018 against him.
