Shohei Ohtani says injuries he carried after the All-Star break continue to linger into the postseason, limiting his ability to pitch. Multiple outlets report that he has dealt with issues involving his right biceps, left knee and neck and has not been able to give a clear answer on what is behind the problems or how they developed.
The coverage frames Ohtani’s comments as part of his ongoing effort to understand his physical condition while preparing for postseason play. Outlets note that, despite attempting to pinpoint the cause, he still lacks certainty about the underlying factors and the full extent of the injuries. The reports also highlight that his situation is being monitored as he weighs availability and recovery, with the issues described as lingering rather than fully resolved.
Both accounts agree on the core points: Ohtani’s injuries affect multiple body areas, they keep him from fully returning on schedule, and he cannot currently identify the root cause, even as the postseason approaches and begins.
