## Resource

Shohei Ohtani got a knee injection to ease lingering soreness and is back in the lineup as a hitter, with his next pitching start set for Wednesday—depending on how his knee responds. The Dodgers are being flexible with his schedule, ready to dial back his workload if needed, especially since he wants to play as much as possible. Manager Dave Roberts says they’re prioritizing his long-term health and effectiveness, even adjusting his pitching schedule to include extra recovery time. With a strong division lead, they’re managing his load carefully to ensure he’s at his peak for the playoffs. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
