[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Dodge Japan's second-hand superstar Shohei Ohtani has missed 6 of the last 7 games. Since his right arm is still experiencing discomfort, it is not ruled out that he may be on the disabled list. Dodgers head coach Dave Roberts admitted that Ohtani would never be able to return to 100 percent this season and regretted that he should have been placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Shohei Ohtani has recently experienced discomfort in his left knee, right bicep and neck. He previously missed 4 consecutive games. He recently returned to the starting lineup with 4 no hits, but then missed 2 consecutive games. In this regard, Robles said that Ohtani felt unwell at the moment. What is worrying is that he rested for 4 days and then played 4 seats, but felt something abnormal in one of the seats, which prevented him from continuing to play. This was very disappointing.

Robles also revealed that Ohtani did not report the injury to the Dodgers immediately and did not inform the team until after the game last night. Dodgers senior management and the team's medical team will discuss the next steps, including whether to put Ohtani on the disabled list. It is currently scheduled that Ohtani will still go to Miami with the team.
Robles still expects Shohei Ohtani to play again this season. The goal now is to get him back as healthy as possible, but it is difficult to restore his physical condition to 100%. Regarding whether he regretted not putting Ohtani on the disabled list in the first place, Robles also rarely expressed his candidness: "If I look back from this point in time, I will feel that I should have put him on the disabled list at that time. However, at that point in time, all of us thought that letting him rest for 4 days should be enough, but looking at the current situation... Yes, it is indeed the case."
