Shohei Ohtani Skipping Pitching Start Wednesday Against Athletics to Get Extra Rest
The Dodgers will use a bullpen game Wednesday and give Ohtani extra rest before his next outing, team reporters said.
- The Los Angeles Dodgers announced that Shohei Ohtani will not start his scheduled Wednesday game against the Athletics, pushing his next pitching appearance to Friday against the San Diego Padres.
- Manager Dave Roberts cited the team's grueling stretch of 13 games in 13 days, prioritizing extra rest for the Japanese star during this demanding mid-season period.
- The schedule change positions Ohtani against division rivals, including the Arizona Diamondbacks, while he maintains an 8-2 record and 1.58 ERA over 79.2 innings this season.
- By starting on the weekend before the All-Star Game, Ohtani will likely not pitch in the mid-summer classic, as he would not be available on his regular rest schedule.
- Wednesday's game will feature a bullpen approach, with Roki Sasaki slated to start Thursday's opener at Dodger Stadium against the Padres.
