Ohtani Returns! Dodgers Aim for Series Win
24 Sep
Summary
- Shohei Ohtani activated from IL, batting second.
- Dodgers' magic number for playoff bye is one.
- Yamamoto faces struggling pitcher Robbie Ray.
Shohei Ohtani has returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup, activated from the 15-day injured list for Wednesday night's game against the San Diego Padres. Ohtani is slated to bat second, providing a significant boost as the Dodgers seek to win the series. The team's magic number to secure a first-round playoff bye has dwindled to just one, indicating they are close to clinching a top-two seed.
On the mound for the Dodgers is Yoshinobu Yamamoto, making his final regular-season start. Yamamoto has been dominant against the Padres this season, boasting a 2.51 ERA overall. He will face veteran left-hander Robbie Ray, who has struggled significantly since being acquired by the Padres, carrying a much higher ERA with his new team compared to his previous performance with the San Francisco Giants.
