Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is concerned about Shohei Ohtani's physical condition after he struck out four consecutive times. Roberts plans to discuss Ohtani's health with the training staff and the two-way superstar on Thursday. Ohtani hasn't pitched since July 3 due to knee and biceps pain, which might be affecting his offensive performance. Roberts says Ohtani hasn't been himself lately and might need a day off. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are uncertain if Ohtani will pitch again this season as the defending World Series champions chase a third consecutive title.
