Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers exited Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to left knee inflammation. He was performing well, going 2-for-2 with a home run and two walks before being pinch-hit for in the seventh inning. This injury raises concerns due to Ohtani’s history with a bipartite patella in his left knee, a condition that has caused flare-ups throughout his career, including a serious issue in 2019 that required surgery. The Dodgers provided an update on his condition, intensifying worries among fans and analysts.
