Dodgers Hold Off Ohtani Pitching, Focus on Knee Recovery

Ohtani’s left knee, which flared up during a July start, is the main reason the Dodgers have delayed his return to pitching. He is staying on the roster as a DH and is doing medicine‑ball plyometric throws to keep his right arm active without stressing the knee. bettingx.club

Presidential aide Andrew Friedman said Ohtani’s knee could return to full function soon, but the team wants to avoid forcing the player to alter mechanics ๆ. He remains 8‑2 with a 1.79 ERA, but the Dodgers have no urgency to add a pitcher before the August trade deadline.
