Shohei Ohtani's Pitching Return Delayed by Persistent Knee Pain

Shohei Ohtani will not pitch Sunday against the Tigers or Tuesday against the Cardinals as he continues to battle left knee discomfort and a previous biceps issue. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that the knee discomfort flared during a Friday bullpen session and that Ohtani is not yet at 100% health. His return to the mound remains uncertain as the Dodgers monitor his progress and navigate fluctuations in team performance.
