Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani still set to start after getting hit on hand by a pitch
against the Rockies
LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani was hit on the right hand by a pitch and
left the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday
night.
The two-way superstar was struck by Rockies starter Kyle Freeland in the
fourth. Ohtani left after grounding out in the fifth. He was 0 for 2 with a run
scored in the team's 16-5 win.
Manager Dave Roberts said the ball mostly hit the pad on Ohtani's hand before
clipping his pinkie finger.
"We're in a good spot," he said, adding that given the Dodgers' big lead he
wanted Ohtani to rest ahead of his scheduled mound start in the series finale
on Wednesday.
"I haven't decided yet if he's going to hit," Roberts said. "I just want to
kind of make sure how he comes in and physically how he feels because I want to
make sure he feels really good on the pitching side of things."
