Summary
Shohei Ohtani is set to drain fluid from his left knee this Sunday to address persistent irritation that’s sidelined him from the All-Star Game — but he’ll still DH against the Diamondbacks. The Dodgers’ two-way superstar, who’s crushing it offensively with a .290 average and 21 homers while pitching at a high level, is adjusting his schedule to avoid worsening the issue. His recent pitching has dipped slightly, coinciding with the knee discomfort, but the team hopes the procedure and All-Star break rest will get him back on track for the second half and playoffs. Ohtani’s willingness to sacrifice All-Star glory for his health underscores his commitment to the Dodgers’ World Series push — and his three-hundredth home run just makes this moment even more bittersweet.
