What happened: Dave Roberts said Shohei Ohtani experienced regression after his previous bullpen session. Roberts still expects him to pitch again this season.
Why it matters: Roberts said the delay does not change his view that Ohtani will be MVP. The interruption adds uncertainty to rotation planning before the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
By the numbers: Wednesday's bullpen session lasted 30 pitches. The postponed workout would have been his second since a July 12 knee injection.
What to watch: Mound work will remain paused until Ohtani and the club are fully confident in his knee.
