What happened: Shohei Ohtani is in the Dodgers’ lineup for the scheduled game. His response afterward will shape his availability the next day.
Why it matters: The approach leaves the Dodgers reassessing Ohtani after each appearance rather than setting a longer timeline. The club expects that process to continue.
By the numbers: The game has not started; the scheduled score is 0-0.
What to watch: The Dodgers will evaluate how Ohtani comes through the game before deciding his next-day status.
