What happened: If cleared, Ohtani will continue playing; if not, he will sit. Los Angeles fell 7-4 in the final, moving the series from 1-0 to 2-0.

Why it matters: A 2-0 deficit leaves no margin before the next game. Ohtani's availability defines the lineup construction for that game.

What to watch: Tuesday's evaluation decides Ohtani's status for the next game.
