Ohtani Sidelined from Pitching Since July 3 With Knee and Biceps Issues
The Dodgers two-way star has been restricted to designated hitter as he manages left knee soreness and a right biceps injury.
Shohei Ohtani has not taken the mound since July 3 this season due to left knee soreness and a right biceps injury. He is currently limited to DH duties for the Dodgers. Despite the pitching absence, Ohtani remains productive at the plate, hitting two home runs in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs. His 2025 pitching line stands at 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA across 14 starts before the injuries curtailed his mound appearances.
