He said Ohtani will make his scheduled start on Wednesday, dispelling any concern about an injury to the two-way star.“It got him on the pad, but I think it flipped his pinkie a little bit," Roberts said. "But I think we’re in a good spot.”“He is gonna start tomorrow," Roberts added.Ohtani is in the midst of an incredible year on the mound, allowing just four earned runs over 49 innings for a 0.73 ERA. He has 54 strikeouts to 13 walks and is firmly in the mix for the National League Cy Young award.Roberts said before Tuesday’s game that Ohtani was going to hit and pitch on Wednesday for the second consecutive week. He doesn't know if that will be the case any longer."I haven’t decided yet if he’s gonna hit," Roberts said.Ohtani didn’t hit on three straight pitching days before hitting last week against the San Diego Padres. He crushed a leadoff home run before firing five shutout innings.Offensively, Ohtani is heating up as of late. On the year, he's hitting .270 with eight home runs, 29 RBIs and an OPS of .874. Over the last 15 games, he's hitting .321 with an OPS of 1.034.This story will be updated (refresh the page for the fully updated article)...Sign up for our free newsletter and follow us on X/Twitter and Facebook for the latest news.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
