LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani will be held out of the lineup Tuesday night
when he starts on the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Miami
Marlins.
It'll be the second time this season Ohtani pitches but does not hit. He'll be
throwing on five days' rest.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced the plan for Ohtani after a 5-4 win in
the series opener Monday night.
The first time Ohtani pitched for the Dodgers but didn't hit occurred April 15,
when he struck out 10 in an 8-2 victory over the New York Mets. He was held out
of the batting order after being struck in the back of his right shoulder by a
pitch earlier that week.
The previous time Ohtani was not in the lineup as the designated hitter during
a start on the mound was May 28, 2021, with the Los Angeles Angels.
The Dodgers will miss his bat Tuesday. He has a 10-game hitting streak against
the Marlins dating to September 2024.
On Monday, Ohtani had his second consecutive three-hit game, finishing 3 for 5
with a ground-rule double, two singles, two runs and an RBI.
