Ohtani Sits Out Dodgers Game With Knee Soreness

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Shohei Ohtani did not play in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 5-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday due to lingering soreness in his left knee. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that this was a precautionary measure, and Ohtani is expected to return to the lineup Friday.

The Dodgers defeated the Mariners 5-2 at a location not specified in the source material. The decision to sit Ohtani was made despite no apparent injury during the game itself; rather, it stemmed from continuing discomfort in his left knee.

According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, “he will be back Friday.” This statement suggests the soreness is not considered serious enough to keep Ohtani sidelined for an extended period. The team opted to rest him as a preventative step.
