What happened: Shohei Ohtani’s pitching plans are on pause as he manages left knee and right biceps soreness. Dave Roberts said Ohtani will not pitch Tuesday after also missing a planned Sunday return.
Why it matters: The delay leaves the Dodgers without a timetable for his return to the mound late in the regular season. Roberts said the club still expects Ohtani to pitch again this season.
By the numbers: Ohtani last pitched July 3; he had gone 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA in 14 starts.
What to watch: The Dodgers will determine Ohtani’s next pitching step after further discussions in Los Angeles.
