Shohei Ohtani, a two-way star for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is not in the lineup for their series finale against the Seattle Mariners due to soreness in his left knee. While he has been dealing with knee and biceps injuries, he has remained the Dodgers' everyday designated hitter. Both Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman downplayed the injuries, stating that the team fully expects Ohtania to pitch again this season. The knee injury is what's keeping him off the mound and the biceps flare-up is a non-issue.
