Shohei Ohtani returns from injury and is the DH as the Dodgers reshuffle the top of the order
Shohei Ohtani was back in the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup on Wednesday after missing two weeks with right biceps discomfort. Ohtani hits left-handed and throws and pitches right-handed. “I’m not expecting too much,” manager Dave Roberts said.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts returned to the lineup on Wednesday as the leadoff hitter after being sidelined for two weeks with a right biceps issue. The two-way superstar, who hits left-handed and throws right-handed, took his place in Ohtani's usual batting order spot. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated the team expects Ohtani to have a focused mindset as they head into the postseason.
Ohtani, who has been sidelined since September 8, will take batting practice against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday and is slated to hit second in the lineup. Ohtani's return follows a 30-game absence due to injury.
