Will Shohei Ohtani's start be impacted after being hit by pitch?

"Ohtani was in visible pain after being hit by a 94 mph sinker from David Peterson, but stayed in and seemingly finished the game without incident."

"Roberts said, 'No, no. I'm happy he's not pitching [Tuesday]. Probably a bruise, but I don't think it's going to impact his start.'"

"Ohtani has made two pitching starts this season, throwing a combined 12 innings without allowing an earned run while striking out eight and walking four."

"Roberts has thought about moving Ohtani out of the leadoff spot when he pitches to help reduce some of that burden."

Shohei Ohtani was hit by a pitch on his right shoulder during a game against the New York Mets but finished the game without incident. He was later seen with a bandage on his shoulder. Manager Dave Roberts does not expect the injury to affect Ohtani's scheduled start on Wednesday. Ohtani has had a strong pitching season so far, and Roberts is considering adjusting Ohtani's batting order position on days he pitches to alleviate some physical and mental strain.
