The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list due to right arm discomfort. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed the decision follows a series of recent absences for the designated hitter, who has primarily experienced bicep pain during swings. Ohtani is not eligible to return until September 23, though the team intends to use the period to build up his recovery for the postseason. To maintain depth, the club is calling up top prospect Josue De Paula from Double-A Tulsa. The 21-year-old outfielder is expected to make his major league debut during the upcoming road series against the Miami Marlins. The Dodgers enter the weekend with an 89-57 record and an 11-game lead in the National League West.
