Article commentary
Ohtani's transparency about his biceps and knee issues highlights the delicate balance the Dodgers must strike between preserving his health and maximizing his two-way impact. With July still offering room for patience, the team is wisely avoiding any rush to push him back onto the mound. However, the lingering nature of both injuries—especially the knee soreness tied to pitching—raises legitimate questions about his readiness for October. Roberts' confidence that Ohtani will pitch in the postseason is reassuring, but the buildup process required after a prolonged layoff could complicate matters. The Dodgers' deep roster gives them flexibility, but Ohtani's unique value means every decision carries significant weight. This situation will be one to watch closely as the calendar turns.
