Los Angeles Dodgers ’ Shohei Ohtani rounds the bases after hitting a triple during the sixth inning of a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds, Saturday, May 25, 2024, in Cincinnati. CINCINNATI — Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has been playing with a bruised hamstring and has been told to take it easy on it, manager Dave Roberts said Saturday.
Ohtani was injured when he was hit by a pickoff throw during the Dodgers’ last homestand, Roberts said. The question was raised with the Dodgers manager after Ohtani appeared to not be at full speed while running out a triple in the sixth inning. “Our advice to him is just be smart with it,” Roberts said. “I think he was just going to leg out a double and the ball just didn’t get in , so he kept running. It is him just managing the hamstring.Ohtani was 1 for 4 with three strikeouts in Saturday night’s 3-1 loss to the Reds. He was 0 for 5 in the series opener Friday night, also won by Cincinnati.
