Dodgers Expect Healthier Shohei Ohtani for NLDS Playoff Run

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is using the playoff bye to fine-tune his swing ahead of the NLDS, following a rocky end to the regular season marred by right biceps and left knee issues. While GM Brandon Gomes and manager Dave Roberts assert Ohtani is feeling great physically and ready to be a major lineup threat, questions lingered regarding his recent offensive slump. Roberts expects the slugger to match the brilliant form he showed over the last two months.
