Shohei Ohtani was hit on the right hand by a pitch during the Dodgers’ game against the Rockies and left after grounding out in the fifth inning, finishing 0 for 2 with a run scored in the team’s 16-5 victory. Manager Dave Roberts noted that the ball mostly hit the pad on Ohtani’s hand before grazing his pinkie. He indicated that Ohtani might rest ahead of his scheduled pitching start in the series finale, emphasizing the need to monitor Ohtani’s physical condition.
