Framing Analysis
Shohei Ohtani completed a 30-pitch live batting practice session against Will Smith on Saturday while recovering from left knee soreness that has kept him off the mound since July 3. Manager Dave Roberts stated the knee issue appears behind them and that Ohtani would return to a game in days if the decision were his alone. The Dodgers plan to limit Ohtani to one-to-three innings upon his return to the rotation.
