Ohtani sits in Dodgers’ lineup as club guards health for late stretch

Shohei Ohtani was not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup Thursday as Los Angeles weighs how best to protect his health for the final month of the season. After a four-strikeout night and a visibly compromised at-bat, manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani is day-to-day with no IL indication, and GM Brandon Gomes echoed that stance. Ohtani has been dealing with left knee pain and right biceps soreness since mid-June, hasn’t pitched since July 3, and has posted a troubling offensive stretch since Aug. 8, though the Dodgers insist he remains healthy enough to play and are aiming to keep him available while evaluating a possible return to pitching this season.

Venice 2026: Oscar Favorites Are Missing From the Festival

Venice 2026 opens with a notable absence of big Oscar contenders: titles pundits hoped would launch the awards race (including The Social Reckoning, Cliff Booth, and Dune: Part Three) aren’t on the lineup due to reshoots, VFX, and marketing choices. Digger was kept off the festival, and several others may pivot to Telluride or NYFF. The festival still features strong auteur work, but the lack of marquee Oscar films has analysts buzzing about Venice’s grip on the awards season, with only Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine seen as a clear Oscar contender this year and room for a surprise later in the season.
