Shohei Ohtani sidelined from pitching amid injury concerns

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will not pitch on Sunday or Tuesday following a setback after a recent bullpen session. Ohtani is dealing with knee and biceps issues, leading Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to state it may not be worth risking his health for pitching given his importance to the team's offense. While the decision to shut him down from pitching has not been finalized, Roberts emphasized the need to ensure Ohtani remains healthy for the postseason push. The Dodgers currently have strong starting pitching options, reducing the immediate need for Ohtani on the mound.
