Dodgers' Ohtani Set for Return Wednesday After IL Stint; Roberts Says He's 'Considerably' Better
Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a walk in his return and is expected to stay in the lineup for the series finale.
- On Wednesday, designated hitter Shohei Ohtani returned from the injured list against the San Diego Padres, though the Los Angeles Dodgers fell 5-1, missing a chance to clinch a first-round bye.
- Manager Dave Roberts confirmed the activation after Ohtani spent two weeks on the injured list due to right biceps inflammation and left knee soreness; the Dodgers optioned rookie Josue De Paula to Triple-A to clear the roster spot.
- Roberts rated Ohtani's health an '8 or a 9' on a 10-point scale, noting he looked 'considerably' better; Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a single and a walk in his first game back.
- Team officials confirmed De Paula remains eligible for the postseason roster, while the Dodgers plan to maximize Ohtani's at-bats before the National League Division Series to restore his rhythm and timing.
- With five games remaining, the Dodgers require one win or an Atlanta Braves loss to clinch a first-round bye while pursuing a third consecutive World Series title.
