The Los Angeles Dodgers have an update on Shohei Ohtani's health as he continues to recover from knee inflammation that kept him out of Tuesday's All-Star Game. Manager Dave Roberts spoke on if the four-time MVP will play in the first series of the second half of the season against the New York Yankees in the Bronx. Ohtani was scratched from his final scheduled pitching start of the first half of the year due to his knee, but after later conceding that he could have played through it if need be, Roberts clarified where his designated hitter/ace is at in terms of his mindset. “I think that No. 1, he’s always said, we’ve always said, the goal is October, for all of our players,” Roberts said last week. “With that, yeah, he’s had the Cy Young in mind, and understandably so. But nothing is going to come in front of being healthy for October."And so for him to concede and miss a start in the best interest of him and the team, that’s not a surprise. Those are two separate things, but No. 1 is being ready for October, and he’s always said that.”In other news, there is more chatter regarding Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches. This time, a former MLB general manager proposed a deal that would have the Dodgers parting ways with a pair of top prospects and a current member of the rotation to land Skubal. In more trade deadline related news, the defending champions could be involved in a three-team trade, according to a team insider. "They have interesting prospects throughout their system, which means they can engage on multiple fronts, including poking their heads in three-team deals to help facilitate trades and maybe pluck the next unknown from that bunch."Here’s all the latest Dodgers news and stories (click the headline for the full article): Dodgers Manager Announces Shohei Ohtani's Status for Yankees Series After Knee Procedure Ex-GM Proposes Dodgers Trade 3 Potential Stars to Tigers for Tarik Skubal Dodgers Could Be Involved in 3-Team Trade at Deadline, Says Insider Dodgers' Mark Walter Might Be Baseball's Most Hands-Off Control Person Dodgers Have Concrete Timeline for Blake Snell to Return The Biggest Dodgers Surprise And Disappointment of the First HalfDodgers Tweets of the DayWrobo strikes out the side in his first career All-Star Game. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/eIBJlFeI3z— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 15, 2026Yamamoto and Wrobleski are introduced at the #AllStarGame pic.twitter.com/DQWUfpJlX9— SleeperDodgers (@SleeperDodgers) July 15, 2026The Dodgers could be involved in a three-team trade ahead of the deadline, says an insider👀👀 pic.twitter.com/cXpqiuPgKg— Dodgers On SI (@DodgersOnSI) July 15, 2026Proud of our All-Stars. 💙 pic.twitter.com/gyEhXLdVTI— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 15, 2026The stars are shining on the red carpet. #AllStarGame pic.twitter.com/ByVhtHFq1U— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 14, 2026All-Star dads. pic.twitter.com/lVgI9vjq77— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 14, 2026Dave Roberts recalls an emotional Justin Wrobleski in his office at a time when he was still working to become the pitcher he wanted to be.Fast forward to today, and he's a first-time All-Star. 😤 pic.twitter.com/n3xSfUAAPY— Foul Territory (@FoulTerritoryTV) July 14, 2026The Dodgers finally have a solid timeline for Blake Snell to return👀⬇️ pic.twitter.com/FvKVgAgMCn— Dodgers On SI (@DodgersOnSI) July 14, 2026Our first time All-Stars. ⭐️⭐️ pic.twitter.com/mPtR2ujQcy— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 14, 2026Derek Jeter gave Dave Roberts some much deserved praise for the last few postseason runs:“They have the perfect manager in Roberts who is leading this ship.” pic.twitter.com/Tq7eJYBYzT— SleeperDodgers (@SleeperDodgers) July 14, 2026The WS MVP cleans up nice. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/pNQCX0BYDt— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 14, 2026Brought out the old school camera for All-Star, plus a few guest shots from Wrobo. 😂 pic.twitter.com/nvvn0RDZLG— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 14, 2026— MLB Network (@MLBNetwork) July 14, 2026Sign 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
