Shohei Ohtani returns to Dodgers lineup in 6-3 win against Reds

Shohei Ohtani returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup on Monday following a four-game absence due to arm and knee injuries. Ohtani finished 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk in the 6-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers maintained their winning streak, which has reached five games, despite his lack of offensive impact. Teoscar Hernández provided the primary offense for Los Angeles with a three-run home run in the sixth inning. Emmet Sheehan earned the win after pitching 5 ⅔ innings and recording 10 strikeouts. The team continues to monitor Ohtani’s health and plate production as the postseason approaches.
