Ohtani to Skip Start for Extra Rest

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani will not pitch in Wednesday’s game against the Oakland Athletics, manager Dave Roberts announced. The decision is intended to provide the two-way player with additional rest during a demanding stretch of games.

The Dodgers are currently playing 13 games over 13 days, and Roberts explained that he wants to ensure Ohtani receives a break amidst the busy schedule. "The Dodgers are in the midst of playing 13 games in 13 days, and Roberts wanted to make sure that the Japanese sensation got a break."

Ohtani is still expected to take the mound on Friday when the Dodgers face off against the San Diego Padres. No further details regarding any potential physical concerns were provided; the move appears purely precautionary given the team’s rigorous schedule.
