Shohei Ohtani remains in the Dodgers’ lineup plans despite lingering injury concerns, with the club prepared to let the two-way star continue playing as long as he believes he is healthy enough to do so.
Los Angeles will keep evaluating Ohtani’s condition and could give him time away from the field if the injuries become significant enough to require it. For now, the decision will largely turn on how Ohtani feels and whether he can continue performing without aggravating the issue.

The Dodgers are expected to check on Ohtani’s health on an ongoing basis rather than make an immediate decision to shut him down. If he indicates he is fit to play, the club intends to keep him active.
That leaves Los Angeles balancing the daily value of Ohtani’s presence against the need to avoid turning a lingering problem into a longer absence. The Dodgers will determine whether rest becomes necessary as his condition develops.
