Before the Dodgers’ doubleheader against the Yankees, manager Dave Roberts announced that Shohei Ohtani will not make his scheduled start on Wednesday, as the club continues to prioritize the health of his left knee.
Roberts explained that Ohtani never threw a bullpen session because he and the training staff already knew his knee wasn’t responding well enough after simply playing catch. Rather than pushing through it, the Dodgers chose to be cautious.
In this interview, Roberts discusses:
Shohei Ohtani will not start Wednesday
Why Ohtani skipped his bullpen session
The latest on Ohtani’s knee recovery
Why pitching—not hitting—continues to aggravate the knee
The torque from Ohtani’s landing during his pitching delivery
Why the Dodgers believe patience is the right approach
Why Emmet Sheehan’s start was pushed back
The Dodgers’ rotation plans moving forward
Whether Ohtani could still DH during the doubleheader
Why the club isn’t treating this as a day-to-day issue
Roberts said Ohtani likely could pitch if necessary, but emphasized that the benefits simply don’t outweigh the risks at this point in the season.
He added that the Dodgers are in a strong position in the standings, allowing them to give Ohtani additional time rather than rushing him back to the mound.
