Shohei Ohtani Skips Dodgers Lineup but Avoids Injured List
Shohei Ohtani was left out of the Dodgers' Friday lineup after a left‑knee inflammation removal in Pittsburgh, yet the team confirmed he will not be placed on the injured list. Ohtani's absence could dent the Dodgers' offensive firepower, as he contributes both as a pitcher and a hitter.
The club said they are closely monitoring his recovery and expect him back soon. Medical staff reported the knee inflammation is mild and not a long‑term concern.
