Dodgers weigh pulling Ohtani from the mound to protect playoff run

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team hasn’t decided whether Shohei Ohtani will continue pitching this season, with lingering knee and biceps issues keeping him off the mound since July. The decision hinges on balancing his critical offensive value against the risk of further injury as the Dodgers navigate the postseason, with ongoing bullpen work and potential bullpen/opening strategies discussed but no firm plan yet.
