Shohei Ohtani has not pitched since July 3, 2026, while continuing as the Dodgers' designated hitter with a right biceps that is not 100 percent and a sore left knee. On July 28, 2026, he went 3-for-4 with a walk, double, three RBIs, and a run in a 7-6 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Reports of a poor bullpen session and the timeline of his knee issue remain unverified.
