What happened: Shohei Ohtani will be shut down from pitching for 'some time' as he manages a knee injury, per Jack Harris. The decision comes after he was previously cleared for a start before the All-Star break.
Why it matters: This latest setback complicates his throwing progression and timeline to return to the mound. Manager Dave Roberts had previously stated that his pitching plans for October were unaffected following the break.
By the numbers: Ohtani allowed just one earned run across 24 innings pitched earlier this season.
What to watch: It remains to be seen how his landing leg will respond to the continued throwing sessions.
