Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani will miss the upcoming All-Star Game and his scheduled pitching start due to ongoing irritation in his left knee. He will continue to serve as the team’s designated hitter during a weekend series, after which he will undergo treatment aimed at resolving the issue.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced that their star player, Shohei Ohtani, will not participate in next week's All-Star Game held in Philadelphia because of continued irritation in his left knee. The team also stated that Ohtani would not be making his scheduled start on the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.
