The Los Angeles Dodgers are waiting for Shohei Ohtani to return as he recovers from knee and biceps injuries. Ohtani has not pitched since the All-Star break and his performance at the plate declined before he was placed on the injured list. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Ohtani is feeling 'normal...ish' and recently resumed baseball activities without discomfort. Ohtani is eligible to return before the end of the regular season, but it remains uncertain if he will regain full productivity after this time off.
