Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ star player, has been scratched from his pitching start against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to continued irritation in his left knee. As a result, he will also miss the upcoming All-Star Game.
Ohtani’s Season So Far
Ohtani, who is 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA and 95 strikeouts, will be limited to the designated hitter role for the rest of the weekend against the Diamondbacks. After the series, he will undergo interventions on his knee to prepare for the second half of the season.
Ohtani, a four-time Most Valuable Player, is batting .290 with 20 home runs and 56 RBIs. He recently reached a milestone, smashing his 300th career home run, becoming the first Japanese-born player in the majors to achieve this feat.
