Shohei Ohtani Day-to-Day With Knee and Biceps Soreness

Shohei Ohtani is day-to-day managing left knee and right biceps discomfort. After a four-strikeout performance and visible physical distress in a loss to the Cardinals, he was held out of the lineup. Manager Dave Roberts noted the superstar is 'not close to optimal.' While the team currently views an IL move as unlikely, the latest injury scare has raised concerns that he could be sidelined from the mound for the remainder of the season as the Dodgers weigh his postseason readiness.
