Dodgers Place Shohei Ohtani on 15-Day IL, Recall Top Prospect Josue De Paula
Shohei Ohtani is headed to the 15-day injured list, and the Dodgers will promote 21-year-old Josue De Paula for his major league debut.
- On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers placed two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list, Manager Dave Roberts announced, as the four-time MVP battles lingering left-knee and right-biceps discomfort.
- Lingering injuries to his left knee and right biceps have sidelined Ohtani since early July, when he last pitched, forcing the team to transition him to a designated hitter role before his recent four-game absence.
- Major League Baseball regulations mandate a 15-day minimum injured list stint for two-way players, balancing the required vacancy against Ohtani's postseason readiness as the Dodgers prepare for their playoff push.
- To fill the roster spot, the Dodgers are promoting top outfield prospect Josue De Paula from Double-A Tulsa, with Roberts confirming his major league debut on Friday during the team's Miami series.
- Roberts confirmed Ohtani will not pitch again this season, focusing instead on hitting and baserunning to maximize his availability for the postseason as the Dodgers pursue their division title.
