Dodgers to hold Ohtani out Saturday after biceps injury
ESPN Headlines1 min read109 words
Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani logged a season‑high 110 pitches in Friday’s matchup against the San Diego Padres before departing in the seventh inning after his right biceps tightened on a swing. The right‑handed star’s effort came as the Dodgers sought to extend their lead in the National League West, but the injury forced him to leave the game prematurely.
Team officials announced that Ohtani will sit out Saturday’s lineup to allow additional recovery time for the biceps. The decision aims to prevent further strain and keep the player healthy for the remainder of the season, with the Dodgers expected to adjust their offensive strategy in his absence.
