Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Wednesday that two way player Shohei Ohtani will be placed on the 15 day injured list. Ohtani has been dealing with discomfort in his right arm, left knee, and neck. This marks his first time on the injured list since September 2023, when he played for the Los Angeles Angels. The decision was made with the postseason in mind to ensure Ohtani is in the best possible condition for October. The Dodgers can backdate the placement to Tuesday, which would make him eligible to return on September 23 for the final five games of the regular season. Ohtani has struggled at the plate since late August, recording a.122 batting average over 13 games since hitting his 30th home run on August 18. While he has an 8 2 record and a 1.79 ERA on the mound this year, he has not pitched since July 3. The Dodgers currently hold a comfortable lead in the National League West and are on a seven game winning streak.
