Shohei Ohtani News
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (back) is returning to the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ohtani was removed early during Saturday's contest due to back tightness. He didn't play on Sunday but that was likely precautionary to give Ohtani a day off to rest. He'll return to the lineup as the designated hitter and bat second on Monday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Ohtani returning.
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (back) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. Ohtani was removed from Saturday's game with back tightness and is likely getting the day off to recuperate. Ohtani has been unbelievable at the plate this season, slashing a robust .352/.423/.667 with 11 home runs, 27 RBI, 33 runs scored and nine steals. It does not seem to be a significant ailment for the 29-year-old superstar, so hopefully he is back in the lineup on Monday. Will Smith will take over the DH duties against the Padres while Austin Barnes starts behind the plate.
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (back) was removed from Saturday's game versus the San Diego Padres due to back tightness. According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Ohtani's back tightened up. The concern level right now is "minimal," but the Dodgers are leaning toward giving Ohtani the day off on Sunday. They'll see how he feels in the morning. The 29-year-old went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored before exiting. Ohtani is off to a great start with the Dodgers this season, slashing .352/.423/.667 with 11 home runs, 27 RBI, 33 runs, and nine stolen bases over 40 games. Ohtani is considered day-to-day for now, and fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday to see if he is in the lineup.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) jumped ship in free agency this offseason, leaving a Los Angeles Angels team that hasn't reached the postseason since 2014 for the crosstown-rival club that's made 11 consecutive trips to the playoffs. Though Ohtani isn't expected to pitch again until 2025 after undergoing UCL surgery in late 2023, that didn't stop the Dodgers from signing the two-way wonder to a 10-year, $700 million deal, which constitutes the largest contract in baseball history. While Ohtani's 31.6% strikeout rate over 132 innings last season will be missed until he retakes the mound, his bat is expected to be available for Opening Day. Ohtani slashed .304/.412/.654 with an AL-high 44 home runs, 95 RBI, 102 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases across 599 trips to the plate, and his 1.066 OPS led the majors on the way to the second AL MVP award of his career. The 29-year-old phenom now links up with a star-studded lineup in L.A., with his stick figuring to be sandwiched in the two-hole between 2023 NL MVP runners-up Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman as the everyday DH at Chavez Ravine in 2024. Devoid of any holes in his fantasy skill set as a hitter, and perhaps with the hope that he will stay healthy not having to shoulder pitching burdens, Ohtani's redraft stock deserves peak value as a five-category stud. Don't be afraid to draft him as early as the middle of the first round, but Ohtani's ADP sits around the Round 1/2 turn as he hunts for the third MVP trophy of his distinguished career.
