Summary
Shohei Ohtani’s biceps discomfort forces early exit in Friday’s game, sparking Dodgers’ cautious approach to his workload. Despite throwing over 100 pitches and allowing runs, his team still won. With All-Star Game pitching spot now in doubt — even as he’s locked in as NL DH — the Dodgers are prioritizing his health amid other minor issues like knee soreness and a blister. Manager Dave Roberts notes declining fastball command and slider effectiveness, hinting at possible skipping his final start before the break. Long-term health trumps All-Star glory for now.
