Dodgers regret handling of Shohei Ohtani arm injury

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed regret regarding the organization’s management of Shohei Ohtani’s recent arm discomfort. Ohtani has missed six of the team’s last seven games after failing to disclose the severity of his condition following Monday’s series opener against the Cincinnati Reds. While the team previously opted to keep Ohtani active, staff realized during batting practice Tuesday that he was unable to proceed. The Dodgers now face the decision of whether to place the designated hitter on the injured list. Such a move would mandate a minimum 15-day absence, keeping Ohtani sidelined until at least September 23. Roberts stated that the injury involves his bicep and arm rather than a single specific issue.
