Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes addresses Shohei Ohtani injury concerns

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes addressed concerns regarding Shohei Ohtani as the team prepares for the upcoming postseason. Ohtani has struggled at the plate over the past two weeks, posting a.137 batting average with 20 strikeouts since August 18. Physical health remains a topic of conversation, as the designated hitter is dealing with issues in both knees, his bicep, and his neck. While the team held Ohtani out of a game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, Gomes stated that a move to the injured list is not currently planned. The front office intends to monitor whether these ailments are significantly hindering his on-field performance before deciding if he requires a break. The Dodgers currently look to regain momentum as they head toward the playoffs.
