Here’s the latest on Shohei Ohtani being hit by a pitch:
Most recent reporting indicates Ohtani was hit by a pitch earlier this week while with the Dodgers, affecting his readiness to serve as DH in upcoming games. The team has been monitoring the injury and adjusting his workload as needed.[5]
He returned to pitching duties and delivered a strong outing, with 10 strikeouts, while remaining limited at the plate due to the aftereffects of the hit-by-pitch. This marks a continued return from the incident as he manages lingering soreness.[5]
Earlier histories of hit-by-pitch incidents show Ohtani has undergone imaging (X-rays) with negative results and has continued to play, though subsequent appearances have sometimes featured him sitting out as a DH.[1]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest updates from specific outlets (e.g., AP, MLB.com, or team reports) and summarize any new developments, including any changes to lineup or injury status.
