The Los Angeles Dodgers face additional injury concerns as Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman sit out games during the stretch run. Freddie Freeman is dealing with a right knee issue, which Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says is severe enough to keep him out of Wednesday’s lineup for the series finale against the Cincinnati Reds.
Separately, multiple outlets report that Ohtani is battling lingering pain in his biceps. Yahoo Sports and the Los Angeles Times say Ohtani could be placed on the injured list depending on how his condition develops. The reports frame Freeman’s situation as ongoing knee discomfort that may require rest or reduced workload, while Ohtani’s issue is described as persistent biceps pain that could lead to a formal stint on the injured list.
Across the coverage, the common thread is that both players are dealing with injuries affecting availability, prompting the Dodgers to adjust their lineup and roster plans in the near term. Each outlet focuses on the immediate impact of missing games, with differences mainly in emphasis on whether Ohtani’s biceps condition is likely to trigger an injured list placement.
