Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Dodgers was excluded from the starting lineup for the game against the White Sox in Chicago on the 12th. Otani was substituted midway through the game against the Pirates on the 11th, when he was starting as the No. 1 designated hitter due to inflammation in his left knee. After the game, manager Roberts said, ``I think he will be able to play tomorrow as well,'' and indicated that he would decide whether to participate based on his condition before the game. After this, Manager Roberts is expected to explain Ohtani's condition before the game.
