Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani to miss All-Star Game, next mound start because of left knee irritation
- The Los Angeles Dodgers scratched Shohei Ohtani from his scheduled start Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to left knee irritation. He will miss the All-Star Game in Philadelphia.
- Ohtani has managed left knee inflammation since exiting a game against the Pirates in mid-June, playing through discomfort for roughly a month. The Dodgers restricted him from stealing bases to mitigate further irritation.
- Despite the knee issue, Ohtani concludes the first half as one of baseball's best two-way players, batting.290 with 20 homers and 56 RBIs. He reached his 300th career home run milestone this past week.
- Ohtani will serve as designated hitter through the weekend series against the Diamondbacks. After the series ends, he will undergo "some interventions" on his knee to prepare for the second half, the Dodgers said.
- The team confirmed Ohtani will not travel to Philadelphia for All-Star festivities, prioritizing his treatment to ensure he is fully healthy for the second half of the season.
