Ohtani sidelined by knee pain, misses Friday start and All-Star Game

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has been scratched from Friday’s start and will skip the All-Star Game due to a lingering left knee issue. He will undergo knee drainage with an injection likely afterward and will serve as the Dodgers’ designated hitter for the weekend. Kyle Hurt will start Friday’s game in his place, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto slated to start Saturday. Ohtani’s NL All-Star designation remains, but his availability for the game is uncertain as Dodgers stars Freeman, Muncy and Pages plan to attend.
