What happened
Shohei Ohtani got the day off Thursday after appearing physically uncomfortable while striking out four times during the Los Angeles Dodgers' 10-inning loss to the St. Louis Cardinals a night earlier. Manager Dave Roberts texted Ohtani after the 8-6 defeat Wednesday to let him know he would not be starting in the series finale. “He knows that it was the right decision,” Roberts said.
