What happened: Shohei Ohtani will miss the Los Angeles Dodgers’ scheduled Saturday game against the San Diego Padres because of right biceps tightness. His final pitching appearance before the All-Star break is also in doubt.

Why it matters: The Dodgers lead the series 4-1, but Ohtani’s absence removes their leading two-way contributor from Saturday’s lineup. Any pitching pause would alter the rotation while protecting Ohtani after his early exit Friday.

What to watch: Watch for updates on Ohtani’s recovery and whether the Dodgers postpone his next pitching start until after the All-Star break.
