Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Could return Monday
Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Ohtani's (knee/biceps) workout went well Saturday, and as long as things continue in this direction, "I see him in there [Monday]," Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Roberts had been keeping the door open for a possible IL stint for Ohtani, but that now sounds unlikely in light of Ohtani's progress. Ohtani hit in the batting cage Saturday and did not report any soreness. He will miss a fourth consecutive start Sunday night against the Nationals. While he appears on the verge of his return as a hitter, Ohtani is considered unlikely to pitch again this season.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Sitting again Sunday
Ohtani (knee/biceps) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Make it four consecutive absences for the four-time MVP. Manager Dave Roberts has been leaving the door open for a possible IL stint, though Ohtani reportedly made it through his session in the batting cage Saturday without any discomfort. Ohtani's availability as a hitter for the start of the Dodgers' next series remains uncertain.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Reason for optimism after batting session
Ohtani (biceps/knee) didn't experience any discomfort while taking swings in the batting cage Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Ohtani did some hitting in the cage during Saturday's win against Washington and reportedly felt fine. However, manager Dave Roberts said the team will wait to see how the two-way star feels Sunday before deciding next steps. It's not clear if Ohtani has a chance to return to the lineup Sunday following a three-game absence, but at the very least, how he recovers from the session Sunday could help determine whether he'll be able to avoid a stint on the injured list.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Hitting in cage Saturday
Ohtani (biceps/knee) is slated to hit in the batting cage Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Ohtani is out of the lineup for the third straight day Saturday as he deals with right biceps soreness and lingering left knee inflammation. To this point, the Dodgers have hesitated from putting him on the injured list, and how Ohtani feels during and after Saturday's hitting session could go a long way toward determining his timeline to return. Katie Woo of The Athletic notes that should Ohtani be placed on the injured list, it will have to be the 15-day IL due to his status as a two-way player.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Sitting Saturday as expected
Ohtani (knee/biceps) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Ohtani will sit out a third consecutive game Saturday as he continues to manage soreness in his knee and biceps. The Dodgers remain hopeful that he won't require a trip to the injured list, though a move may be necessary if he isn't able to return to the lineup within the next several days. Dalton Rushing will serve as Los Angeles' designated hitter and bat seventh.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Not expected to play Saturday
Manager Dave Roberts said after Friday's game that he does not expect Ohtani (knee/biceps) to play Saturday against the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
If Ohtani ends up sitting Saturday, it would mark the first time since he joined the Dodgers that he's missed three consecutive games. Prior to Friday's contest, Roberts said he was still "hopeful" Ohtani would avoid the injured list, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. "I wouldn't say confident, but hopeful," Roberts said. Ohtani is dealing with lingering knee and biceps issues, injuries which have kept him from pitching in a game since July 3.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Not in Friday's lineup
Ohtani (biceps/knee) is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Nationals on Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Ohtani has been working through lingering knee and biceps injuries and will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game as a result. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Friday that Ohtani as still viewed as "day-to-day," and the hope is that he can avoid a stint on the IL, per Woo. The injuries have delayed his pitching progression, and it's becoming increasingly uncertain whether he'll return to the mound before the end of the regular season. Alex Call will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat seventh Friday while Tommy Edman hits out of the leadoff spot.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: No clear timeline to resume pitching
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admitted Wednesday that he's uncertain if Ohtani will pitch again this season while the two-way superstar manages left knee and right biceps soreness, Associated Press reports.
Ohtani, who hasn't pitched in a game since July 3, appeared poised to make his return to the mound last Sunday against the Tigers, but he was scratched ahead of a potential start after he didn't feel healthy coming out of a 20-pitch bullpen session Friday. Roberts noted that until Ohtani throws another bullpen session, the Dodgers won't have a good feel for the next step in his pitching progression, with the skipper going as far as saying that using Ohtani exclusively as a designated hitter for the rest of the season is "an option." The Dodgers may soon consider giving Ohtani a day off from hitting as well. After Ohtani went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Cardinals, Roberts said that he plans to meet with the training staff and Ohtani on Thursday as the Dodgers "really try to figure out where he's at physically," per Beth Harris of the Associated Press.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Day-to-day with injuries
Ohtani (biceps/knee) is considered day-to-day as he battles a pair of injuries, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Ohtani is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale with the Cardinals as he continues to battle through lingering left knee discomfort and an additional right biceps issue. Manager Dave Roberts outlined that the 32-year-old's availability off the bench Thursday and his status for Friday's series opener with the Nationals will depend on further conversations with the team's training staff. Roberts views a stint on the injured list as unlikely but "not impossible." The injuries have also further delayed Ohtani's potential return to the mound, which is now without an official timeline.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Sitting Thursday amid discomfort
Ohtani is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals due to knee and biceps discomfort.
After Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Cardinals, manager Dave Roberts made it sound likely that Ohtani could get the day off Thursday, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com. Ohtani appeared to show some physical discomfort in his four-strikeout performance Wednesday as he continues to deal with soreness in his left knee and right biceps. It remains to be seen how many games the superstar may rest until he rejoins the lineup. The lingering injuries also leave him without a clear timeline to resume pitching -- he hasn't taken the mound for the Dodgers since July 3. As for Thursday, Tommy Edman is batting leadoff while Alex Call is starting as the designated hitter.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Next pitching appearance delayed
Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Ohtani (knee/biceps) won't pitch in Sunday's series finale against Detroit or Tuesday against the Cardinals, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.
The Dodgers skipper said before Saturday's game against the Tigers that the team was less sure Ohtani would pitch Sunday after he didn't feel well coming out of his bullpen session Friday, and now he has officially been ruled out to pitch in either of Los Angeles' next two games. Roberts noted that the team hasn't decided whether to completely shut Ohtani down from pitching, though there is no planned return date for his next mound appearance. Tyler Glasnow will take the mound to begin Sunday's series finale, and Eric Lauer will likely get the nod to start Tuesday.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Sunday's start in doubt
Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Ohtani (knee) isn't feeling 100 percent following his bullpen session Friday, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for a one-inning start Sunday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Roberts said that Ohtani's "total body" isn't quite healthy, including his left knee and a right biceps issue that has been bothering him since July. The two-way star is still expected to take the mound in a game at some point within the next week, though his next couple of outings will likely be relatively short as he builds up his workload.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Option to pitch Sunday
Manager Dave Roberts didn't rule out the possibility of Ohtani (knee) pitching Sunday against the Tigers, depending how things go the next few days, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The skipper indicated Sunday that Ohtani could pitch in a game as early as this week, and it appears the two-way star is in play to close out the three-game series in Detroit. The right-hander threw 30 pitches in a session of live batting practice Saturday and will have one more mound session this week. If that goes well, Ohtani could make his first appearance on the bump for the Dodgers since early July. He would likely have a limited workload early on, which would give Eric Lauer a chance to work in a piggyback role.
