Shohei Ohtani has actually been playing through a hamstring injury in current video games.
Following the Dodgers 3-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds Saturday, supervisor Dave Roberts informed press reporters that Ohtani suffered a hamstring injury throughout the group’s last home stand which the group is dealing with him to ensure he does not worsen.
“Our suggestions to him is simply be wise with it,” Roberts stated. “I believe he was simply going to leg out a double and the ball simply didn’t get in [to the infield]so he kept running. It is him simply handling the hamstring.”
Roberts continued by stating that Ohtani is improving.
“Today, it was much better than the other day,” Roberts stated. “We require him therein. We simply didn’t wish to press it.”
Ohtani especially did not take a look at complete speed while rushing to a triple in the video game versus the Reds, which triggered the concerns about his health.
Ohtani is striking.340/.409/.626 with 13 crowning achievement in 2024 for the Dodgers. He is not on the mound this season due to his hurt elbow ligament, however he is still making an effect on his group in his very first season after signing a 10-year, $700 million agreement with the franchise.
