The Dodgers are planning to give Shohei Ohtani back-to-back days off as a hitter due to his recent hitting slump. Manager Dave Roberts suggested that the two-way star might be out of the Dodgers' lineup for the next two nights. This could potentially benefit him as he navigates through a prolonged cold spell. While Ohtoni was in the team's lineup as leadoff man and designated hitter on Tuesday, Roberts said he was leaning towards only having him pitch in his scheduled Wednesday start on the mound. Despite his struggles, Roberts acknowledged the difficulty of managing both roles and suggested that fatigue from Ohtanian's workload may be a factor.
