Shohei Ohtani Progresses in Batting Session Amid IL Consideration

Shohei Ohtani is dealing with persistent biceps, neck, and knee issues that have sidelined him for three games, leading the Dodgers to consider an IL stint for postseason preservation. However, there is optimism after Ohtani successfully took swings in the batting cage Saturday without experiencing discomfort. The superstar, who is batting .279 with 30 home runs and 80 RBIs, remains under close team monitoring as they manage his workload following soreness reported Wednesday.
