The Los Angeles Dodgers scratch two-way star Shohei Ohtani from his scheduled pitching start on Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics and move the start to Friday, according to multiple reports. The change affects the Dodgers’ series schedule, with Ohtani no longer pitching in the Wednesday finale and instead taking the mound on Friday back in Los Angeles. Several outlets attribute the decision to the need for extra rest as the Dodgers play a demanding stretch, including 13 games in 13 days. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is cited as making the call to ensure Ohtani receives a break amid the tight schedule. One report also describes the move as a pushback of his next pitching start by two days, with Friday against the Padres replacing the original plan. Overall, the reporting is consistent that the team is adjusting Ohtani’s pitching schedule for rest-related reasons, and that the updated plan is Ohtani pitching on Friday.
