Los Angeles Dodgers' star player Shohei Ohtani recently shared an update on his injuries as the team prepares for the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves. Ohtani had struggled at the plate after returning from injury late in the season, but he remains one of the best players in baseball and the Dodgers are optimistic about having him available for the playoffs.
On Friday, Ohtani provided an update through interpreter Will Ireton, stating that he had a productive bye week, but he will continue to monitor both arm and knee injuries from the second half of the season. As of now, Ohtani will have to manage these issues. Despite limited playing time in the latter part of the season, the 32-year-old still made 14 starts on the mound and appeared in 135 games overall.
Although Ohtani likely won't win the NL MVP this season, as Pete Crow-Armstrong is expected to take the award, his performance was still impressive. Ohtani's primary focus now is to help the Dodgers win their third consecutive World Series, as they are widely considered the best team in the sport. The focus remains on monitoring and providing updates on Ohtani's injury status as they become available.
