The Los Angeles Dodgers expect Shohei Ohtani to be healthier for the postseason. The two-way superstar played the final five games of the regular season after recovering from injuries. With five days off before the National League Division Series begins Saturday, Ohtani has time to rest and refine his hitting. He went 5 for 21 in those five games. General manager Brandon Gomes says Ohtani is feeling great physically. Despite injuries, Ohtani hit .275 with 30 home runs in the regular season. Manager Dave Roberts is confident Ohtani will be a threat at the top of the lineup.
