Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani has minor blister but manager downplays concerns

Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers is managing a small blister on his right middle finger, which has not affected his performance. In a recent scoreless six-inning start against the Diamondbacks, he issued only one walk. Manager Dave Roberts stated that the blister has been a non-issue and does not believe it impacts Ohtani's command. Despite recent inconsistencies, Ohtani boasts a remarkable 0.74 ERA through ten starts this season. He received a scheduled day off after his last outing, a decision made to manage his workload as a two-way player.
