Highlights:

LA Dodgers will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight.

The game will take place at the Chase Field.

After coming short in the game yesterday, the LA Dodgers will have the chance to avenge their loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight. The game will take place at the Chase Field. As the Dodgers have a task in hand, the onus will be on Shohei Ohtani to deliver. The star pitcher had a decent game the other day. He had touched all the perimeters, from RBI to Homer, and had averaged .200. However, despite that, the Diamondbacks clinched the game with a score of 5-3. As the Dodgers are set to be in action again, it will be intriguing to see what Ohtani will present tonight. However, before claiming anything more, it is imperative to check whether the Japanese is fit to play the game or not. Let's take a look at the LA Dodgers' injury report to draw clarity on the subject.

Shohei Ohtani Injury Report

Shohei Ohtani is not listed in the injury report released by the Dodgers ahead of the game against the Diamondbacks. Hence, Ohtani is expected to play tonight. However, he’s still recovering from elbow and shoulder surgeries, and while he’s been throwing bullpen sessions, he’s not expected to pitch until later this season, possibly July or August. There’s no recent mention of new injuries or rest days, but a back issue last year led to a day off, so it’s worth noting.

Ohtani has been active as a designated hitter this season, batting .318/.395/.626 with 24 homers and 16 steals, and recently hit his 10th homer and stole his 10th base. He returned from paternity leave on April 29 and has been in the lineup regularly, including a game on May 5 where he was expected to play as a hitter.
