Shohei Ohtani misses upcoming Giants series due to leg and arm injuries

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani will sit out the upcoming three-game series against the San Francisco Giants starting Friday at Dodger Stadium. The designated hitter and pitcher remains on the injured list while managing a sore left knee and right arm. Ohtani has not pitched since July 3, and the club intends to focus on his offensive contribution during the remainder of the season. Following the series at Dodger Stadium, the two teams conclude their regular season schedule at Oracle Park from September 25-27. While the Dodgers hold a rotation anchored by Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tarik Skubal, Blake Snell, and Tyler Glasnow, Ohtani’s availability for the postseason remains uncertain. The team currently navigates postseason seeding positioning while managing Ohtani’s physical recovery.
