Shohei Ohtani Shows Right-Wrist Discomfort During Early Slump

The Dodgers plan to evaluate his right wrist following visible discomfort.

Overview

  • Ohtani shook his right wrist after a strikeout, prompting Dave Roberts to seek an update on his status.
  • He broke routine with on-field batting practice to find his swing, then went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk.
  • Through six games he has three hits, an OPS below .600 and no RBIs, yet he leads the National League in walks.
  • On the mound he opened the year with six scoreless innings and six strikeouts against the Guardians.
  • The Dodgers are 4-2 with a sluggish offense, and Roberts praised Ohtani’s plate discipline as teammates express confidence.
