Aug. 21 (UPI) -- Shohei Ohtani took a 93-mph line drive to his right thigh, requiring a mound visit from trainers during a Los Angeles Dodgers loss to the Colorado Rockies.
The sequence occurred in the bottom of the fourth inning of the 8-3 setback Wednesday in Denver. Ohtani, who departed from the mound an inning later, has a scheduled off day Thursday and is expected to return Friday.
"My intention is just making sure I get my treatment, and the goal is to make sure that I'm back to normal again," Ohtani told reporters.
Ohtani allowed two runs in the bottom of the second and the Rockies held that lead into the bottom of the fourth. Left fielder Jordan Beck started the half inning with a single to right field. First baseman Warming Bernabel hit the next pitch to left for an RBI double off Ohtani.
