What happened: Shohei Ohtani is dealing with discomfort in his left knee and right biceps. Sunday’s Nationals-Dodgers game has not started and remains 0-0.

Why it matters: Ohtani’s two-way classification carries a longer injured-list minimum than the standard for position players. Leaving him active would avoid that minimum while Los Angeles monitors his recovery.

What to watch: The Dodgers must decide whether Ohtani can return against Washington or needs an injured-list stint.
