Managing cramps
Ohtani was removed as a pitcher from Wednesday's game versus Cincinnati due to lower-body cramps, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
The Dodgers took Ohtani off the mound after he demonstrated some command issues during the fourth inning of Wednesday's contest, but his removal had nothing to do with his arm. He was also able to stay in the game as the Dodgers' DH despite his cramps, so the 31-year-old doesn't seem to be at risk of missing time.

Exits with trainer
Ohtani was removed from Wednesday's game against the Reds with an apparent injury, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
Ohtani pitched into the fourth inning for the first time this season, but he was visited on the mound by a trainer after throwing six consecutive balls -- two of which were wild pitches. He was able to remain in the game as Los Angeles' designated hitter, so although it isn't immediately clear what was bothering the two-way superstar on the mound, it doesn't seem like the Dodgers will have to worry about losing his bat.

Next mound start set for Wednesday
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Ohtani will make his next start as a pitcher Wednesday against the Reds in Cincinnati, Ken Powtak of the Associated Press reports. "Shohei is going to go on Wednesday and then he'll probably pitch the following Wednesday, so that probably lends itself to the six-man," Roberts said, in reference to his plan to expand the Los Angeles rotation from five starters.
Analysis
The two-way phenom has made six starts since getting cleared for his Dodgers debut as a pitcher on June 16. After first completing two one-inning starts, Ohtani followed with a pair of two-inning starts, then worked three innings apiece in his last two outings. Assuming Ohtani's usage pattern holds, he'll likely be in line to cover four innings Wednesday, though Roberts indicated that the Dodgers won't have a designated pitcher to piggyback the right-hander like they had in each of his previous six outings. That said, with Blake Snell (shoulder) potentially in line to return from the 60-day injured list later in the week to give the Dodgers seven starting pitchers, Emmet Sheehan could be moved to the bullpen and may be tasked with covering multiple innings behind Ohtani on Wednesday.

Launches homer No. 38
Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.
Analysis
Ohtani began the game with a bang, smoking a 414-foot homer off star hurler Garrett Crochet in the first inning. That was the only time the two-way star managed to put the ball in play, however, as he struck out in his remaining three at-bats. Ohtani has been boom-or-bust of late -- he's homered six times over his past seven games but has also struck out 14 times during that stretch. That's been a season-long trend for the slugger -- he ranks second in MLB with 38 long balls but is also tied for sixth with 124 punchouts.

Goes yard in fifth straight game
Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Twins.
Analysis
Ohtani continued his remarkable power surge, tying a Dodgers franchise record by homering in his fifth consecutive game, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com. The two-way superstar continues to be a fantasy sensation in all formats in 2025. Since the beginning of May, Ohtani is slashing .268/.371/.646 with 30 long balls, 60 RBI, 65 runs scored and four stolen bases across 329 plate appearances.
