Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani takes first swings since going on IL
Shohei Ohtani hit off a tee on Tuesday in Los Angeles and remains on track to return before the end of the regular season. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Ohtani felt good after taking his first swings since going on the 15-day injured list. The two-way superstar is sidelined with right biceps inflammation. Tuesday’s swings were his first since going on the IL. Ohtani is not traveling with the team, but has been working out and getting treatment.
Roberts hopes Ohtani will play in a few more regular-season games. The Dodgers have already clinched a playoff spot.
