What happened: Imaging found a Grade 1 strain in Caglianone's left elbow after he exited Saturday following two innings. He will stop throwing for a few days. Ohtani sat from Sept. 3-5 amid left knee, right biceps and neck issues.

Why it matters: The late-season uncertainty leaves two premium fantasy bats without predictable daily availability. Ohtani's health also affects Los Angeles' rotation planning.

What to watch: Ohtani's next lineup status and a potential IL decision bear watching. Caglianone will be reassessed after the throwing shutdown.
