Dodgers’ Dave Roberts Addresses Shohei Ohtani’s Wrist Issue

That moment prompted a question to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts after the game, though he did not provide any clarity on whether there was an issue.

Roberts acknowledged noticing the same moment but indicated he had no immediate update on Ohtani’s condition.

“You know, I don’t know,” Roberts said. “I saw that, too, after the last strikeout. So I’ll get a report from (Dodgers’ Head Athletic Trainer/Physical Therapy Thomas Albert) after this session.”

The uncertainty comes as Ohtani continues to ramp up his game, currently hitting a poor .167 without an extra-base hit. That said, Othani keeps drawing walks and reaching base regularly, with a .423 on-base percentage through Wednesday.

Through six games, the Dodgers’ top hitters have yet to find a rhythm, with Ohtani, Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman combining for limited production and only two hitters (min. 15 PA) having a batting average above .238 in Los Angeles' lineup.

Los Angeles sits at 4–2 to begin the season as it heads out on its first road trip, with the first game of the series against the Washington Nationals scheduled for Friday at 1:05 p.m. ET.
