Dodgers rest Shohei Ohtani amid six-game winning streak in NL West

The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to lead the National League West by 10.5 games following a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. Manager Dave Roberts has prioritized managing the workload of veteran players including Shohei Ohtani as the team seeks its fifth consecutive division title. Ohtani sat out the Tuesday contest and may remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's series continuation as the team looks to secure a three-peat. During his time on the bench, Ohtani has participated in dugout activities, including using an infielder's glove to assist coach Dino Ebel. The Dodgers currently maintain a deep roster as they move toward the postseason with a rotation featuring Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Roberts intends to balance playing time for key contributors to ensure optimal health for the remaining schedule and upcoming playoff push.
