Ohtani Ends Home Run Drought, But Dodgers Still Sitting His Bat for Series Finale
CONFIRMEDShohei Ohtani finally broke his home run drought on Tuesday night — and the Dodgers are still sitting his bat for the series finale against the Giants. Good. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed before Tuesday’s loss that the decision had already been made: Ohtani will only pitch on Wednesday, no at-bats. Roberts also left the door open for additional time off beyond that. The Dodgers are now on a season-high-tying four-game losing streak, so I understand the temptation to throw your best hitter back in there after he goes deep. But one homer doesn’t fix what’s been a prolonged struggle, and the front office is smart to hold firm here. Let the man reset, per DodgerBlue.com staff.
