Ohtani Unlikely to Pitch in All-Star Game

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated that Shohei Ohtani will likely not pitch in the upcoming All-Star Game. The decision comes after the team delayed Ohtani’s next start to Friday, July 10, as part of a strategy to manage his workload.

Roberts stated it's “hard to imagine” Ohtani taking the mound during the midsummer classic. This assessment follows the Dodgers’ choice to push back Ohtani’s pitching schedule, prioritizing rest and careful management of the player’s overall health throughout the season.

The move suggests the Dodgers are being cautious with Ohtani, especially considering his recent recovery from injury and ongoing responsibilities as both a pitcher and designated hitter. While Ohtani is expected to participate in the All-Star Game in some capacity, it will not be as a pitcher, according to Roberts’ comments.
