Roberts revealed that Ohtani was “under the weather” on Tuesday. He felt good enough to hit, but didn’t feel great to pitch because of the disease.
“The taxing taxing in a competition, it wasn’t worth it,” said Roberts.
When will Shohei Ohtani then pitch for Dodgers?
Roberts revealed that Ohtani will throw “somewhere this weekend” for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers are currently planning Southpaw Blake Snell to start Thursday, Tyler GlasNow to start a series with the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto was planning to take the hill on Saturday. Because of this, Ohtani would probably return to pitching on Sunday.
