Shohei Ohtani will skip his scheduled pitching start and the All-Star Game to prioritize his health, focusing on treatment for his irritated left knee as he aims for a successful postseason with the Dodgers. Despite having a strong Cy Young candidacy with a 1.79 ERA, Ohtani’s limited innings pitched complicate his award chances, especially as he sacrifices personal accolades for team goals. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts emphasized that Ohtani’s decision reflects a commitment to the team’s ambitions rather than individual glory. With the Dodgers firmly leading their division, Ohtani feels comfortable managing his health as they prepare for the postseason.
