Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday due to continued irritation in his left knee. The two-way player will also miss the MLB All-Star Game.
Ohtani’s Status
Four-time MVP Ohtani will serve as the designated hitter for the rest of the weekend. The 32-year-old will have some interventions on his knee after the series against the Diamondbacks to get him ready for the second half of the season. Ohtani will not travel to Philadelphia for the All-Star Game.
