Shohei Ohtani returns to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup after sitting out one game because of soreness in his left knee, multiple outlets report. In his comeback, Ohtani delivers early impact, including a leadoff home run and three walks, helping kick off the Dodgers’ offense. Coverage describes his return as a prompt return to form following the brief rest day and frames the sequence as a quick bounce back from the prior day he did not play. Other reporting adds context about Ohtani’s overall power production during the period, noting that while his recent home run streak ends during the broader weekend, his recent performance remains notable. Together, the accounts describe a game-to-game return after the knee-related absence, with Ohtani contributing both power and plate discipline immediately upon rejoining the lineup. The outlets also reference other team performances during the same stretch, but the consistent elements across sources are the left knee soreness, the one-game absence, and Ohtani’s leadoff homer and three walks in his first game back.
