Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani missed his scheduled bullpen session on Saturday due to ongoing knee pain. Ohtani experienced soreness after his previous session on Wednesday, leading the Dodgers to exercise caution.
According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Ohtani does not feel 100% confident in his knee, and the team will not move forward with his pitching schedule until he is fully recovered. Ohtani has stated that his knee does not bother him while hitting, and he has continued to participate in games as a hitter.
Ohtani last pitched for the Dodgers on July 3, giving up three runs in six innings against the San Diego Padres. He is batting .286 with 22 home runs and 61 RBIs in 95 games this season. As a pitcher, Ohtani is 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA in 14 starts.
