Ohtani’s Knee Pain Leaves Dodgers Uncertain About Sunday Start

Shohei Ohtani reported lingering discomfort in his left knee after a recent bullpen session. The Dodgers have not confirmed whether he will return to the starting rotation on Sunday. The uncertainty means the team must decide whether to keep Ohtani on the bench or shift another pitcher into the lineup. The decision will affect the Dodgers’ rotation strategy for the upcoming game and could influence the team's approach to managing player health during the stretch run.
