Ohtani Pitching Return Uncertain Amid Injury and Slump

Overview

Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound remains uncertain as he continues to struggle with left knee inflammation and biceps discomfort. Following a bullpen session where he threw approximately 20 pitches, manager Dave Roberts confirmed Ohtani is ‘not 100 percent’ and stated the team scrapped plans for him to pitch against the Detroit Tigers.

This physical setback has coincided with a decline in offensive production, including a recent game where he went zero-for-five. As the Dodgers evaluate his status, discussions have intensified regarding whether the team should place Ohtani on the injured list to allow him to focus exclusively on hitting to preserve his health for the postseason.

By early September, the Dodgers indicated they are seriously considering shutting Ohtani down as a pitcher for the remainder of the 2026 season. The organization is prioritizing his availability as a designated hitter for the postseason, noting that playing him in the outfield is not an option. Despite the potential end to his pitching season, Ohtani remains a significant offensive force, maintaining 30 home runs and 80 RBIs.
