Dodgers will make sure Ohtani isn't overworked pitching and hitting

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Dave Roberts is committed to Shohei Ohtani’s health and keeping him fresh to perform both on the mound and at the plate for the long haul.

The implications of this development extend beyond the immediate headlines. As details continue to emerge, the broader impact on the health landscape becomes increasingly clear.

And that may look different by the day or week, depending how the two-way star is feeling. For some games, that could mean Ohtani pitches but isn’t batting as the designated hitter — and the Los Angeles Dodgers manager plans to keep his options open.
