The Los Angeles Dodgers confirmed that Shohei Ohtani will not make his scheduled start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 10 due to ongoing irritation in his left knee. Ohtani will continue as the team's designated hitter over the weekend but will skip the All-Star Game to undergo procedures on his knee, which may include draining and an injection. Despite this setback, the injury is not viewed as serious. Ohtani has been a standout player this season, excelling as both a hitter and a pitcher. The Dodgers lead the National League West by 14.5 games and will employ a bullpen strategy for the game against Arizona, who trails in playoff contention.
