Shohei Ohtani will return to the Dodgers' lineup Friday after exiting early Wednesday's game when he was struck by a 93.7 mph comebacker. Ohtani remained in the game as a pitcher and took his next plate appearance as the designated hitter before being replaced in the eighth inning by Alex Call. The Dodgers won Thursday's game without Ohtani and will have a well-rested Ohtani available for the series opener against the San Diego Padres on Friday. The Dodgers enter the matchup one game ahead of the Padres in the National League West, and the three-game series carries importance for the division race.
"Shohei's fine," Roberts said after Thursday's win over the Colorado Rockies. "He'll be in there tomorrow."
