The Dodgers are hopeful Shohei Ohtani will not go on the injured list, but his latest injury scare could keep him off the mound for the rest of the season.
Shohei Ohtani got the day off Thursday after appearing physically uncomfortable while striking out four times during the Dodgers' 10-inning loss to the Cardinals a night earlier.
After striking out for the fourth time on Wednesday night, Shohei Ohtani shook out his right arm and winced. For manager Dave Roberts, it was one of many signs that evening that his two-way superstar was feeling physically compromised at the plate.
