Dodgers option Josue De Paula to Triple-A, activate Shohei Ohtani

Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned outfielder Josue De Paula to Triple-A Oklahoma City, the team announced on September 23, 2026. This move comes as the Dodgers activated Shohei Ohtani from the injured list ahead of their game against the San Diego Padres. De Paula, who was promoted from Double-A Tulsa, showed promise with a.323 batting average over 31 at-bats but will now be eligible for the upcoming Division Series. Ohtani's return is crucial as the Dodgers aim for a first-round playoff bye with a potential win or loss from the Atlanta Braves.
