Shohei Ohtani is hitting .278 with 45 home runs, 85 RBIs and a .995 OPS across 508 at-bats while posting a 4.18 ERA with 44 strikeouts and seven walks in 32.1 innings. August pitching production dipped, including a 5.71 ERA across 17.1 innings, but he delivered a five-inning start with nine strikeouts and one run, earning his first Dodgers pitching win. Plans for his final starts involve collaboration among doctors, the front office and manager Dave Roberts to decide whether to allow more than five innings. The team has cautiously progressed Ohtani since returning from UCL surgery, balancing rotation value and lineup importance.
