Dodgers Change Plan to Have Shohei Ohtani Only Pitch Against Astros
CONFIRMEDThe Dodgers have reversed course on their plan to limit Shohei Ohtani‘s next pitching start to the Astros series, per staff at Dodger Blue. Ohtani held the Marlins to two runs (one earned) over six innings last week on shorter rest, sitting out of the lineup for only the second time this season to accommodate that start. Now the club is adjusting his pitching schedule beyond the originally planned Houston matchup — a meaningful shift in how they’re managing his two-way workload. I like the flexibility here. If the guy is dealing, you find ways to get him on the mound more (and this one bears watching as we head into a packed stretch).
