Ohtani Sits as Precaution, Will Return Friday The Los Angeles Dodgers' decision to sit Shohei Ohtani on Thursday night due to knee soreness has sparked debate about the team's handling of his lingering injury.
At 32, Ohtani is still in his prime, but his knee woes have been well documented.
Ohtani was absent from the lineup while not pitching, a red flag that suggests his landing leg may be more fragile than initially thought.
