Ohtani Returns but Dodgers Remain Cautious The Los Angeles Dodgers' decision to keep Shohei Ohtani in their lineup despite his ongoing health issues raises questions about the franchise's priorities and the risks of pushing a star player back onto the field.
The team wants to maximize its investment in Ohtani's unique talents, but the manager's carefully worded responses suggest that the Dodgers are playing with fire.
Ohtani's absence from pitching for 15 days is a significant concern, given his history of injuries to his left knee and right biceps.
