Dave Roberts manages Shohei Ohtani workload for Los Angeles Dodgers postseason

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is implementing a cautious workload plan for Shohei Ohtani to ensure the designated hitter reaches peak health for the postseason. Ohtani recently experienced discomfort in his right biceps and neck, leading to missed games. While Ohtani returned to the lineup briefly, he was out again on Tuesday as the team prioritizes his recovery. The organization has ruled out a return to the mound for the remainder of the season so Ohtani can focus entirely on his hitting. With roughly 20 games remaining in the regular season, Roberts expects to provide Ohtani with additional scheduled rest days. The team aim is to have him fully prepared for the upcoming October schedule.
