Dodgers place Shohei Ohtani on 15-day injured list with knee injury
Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list on September 10, 2026. The move follows persistent issues with his left knee and right bicep, which analysts suggest are hindering his hitting mechanics. Ohtani has maintained a.900 OPS with 30 home runs and 80 RBIs this season despite the physical discomfort. Mark DeRosa noted that the team possesses sufficient pitching depth to offset the loss but requires Ohtani’s offensive production for the postseason. In a corresponding move, the organization is calling up Josue De Paula to the major league roster. The team aims to have Ohtani recovered in time for the October playoffs.
