Ohtani was out of the starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener at the. But manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani could play this weekend and remains in line to make his next scheduled start on the mound on Wednesday.
Ohtani was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh inning of Thursday night’s 8-6 win at Pittsburgh.
“He’s doing fine today,” Roberts said before Friday’s matchup with the White Sox. “I think that we got some pictures. There was no findings. It’s just the normal wear and tear.
I thought initially it was a hamstring, it was the knee. So it just kind of got upset, swelled up a little bit. ” Ohtani, 31, is batting .305 with 13 homers and 40 RBIs in 67 games for the NL West leaders. On the mound, the reigning NL MVP is 6-2 with a 1.06 ERA in 11 starts.
Ohtani had surgery on his left knee in September 2019. Roberts said the swelling is in the back of the knee.
“That’s where a lot of the swelling with the knee kind of like builds,” Roberts said. “But again his range of motion today is good and so if it was another time in the season he’d be in there tonight. ”
