Shohei Ohtani out vs. Mariners with sore knee; Dodgers cite precaution - ESPN
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani was absent from the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup Thursday because of lingering soreness in his left knee, the same one that has kept him from pitching for close to a month. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts described the decision as precautionary — «just so it doesn't turn into something that it shouldn't that we can prevent,» he said — and expected Ohtani to return to the lineup Friday.
