Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani exits a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates early due to left knee inflammation, according to multiple reports citing the team’s announcement. In the June 12 matchup, Ohtani is batting well before his departure, reaching base four times and going 2-for-2, including hitting his 13th home run of the season. Several outlets note the Dodgers continue to play after he leaves, with the game ultimately ending in an 8-6 Dodgers win. The coverage frames the move as precautionary, with Ohtani taken out of the contest before further action on the injury. Separate from Ohtani’s situation, at least one report says Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski also leaves the game with a right hamstring contusion. Additional updates from outlets indicate manager Dave Roberts provides follow-up information after Ohtani’s early exit, though the details of severity are not consistently expanded in the provided summaries. Overall, the sources agree that Ohtani’s left knee inflammation prompts an early removal in the Dodgers’ win over the Pirates.
