CINCINNATI (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has been playing with a bruised hamstring and has been told to take it easy on it, manager Dave Roberts said Saturday.
Ohtani was injured when he was hit by a pickoff throw during the Dodgers' last homestand, Roberts said.
The question was raised with the Dodgers manager after Ohtani appeared to not be at full speed while running out a triple in the sixth inning.
“Our advice to him is just be smart with it,” Roberts said. "I think he was just going to leg out a double and the ball just didn’t get in (to the infield), so he kept running. It is him just managing the hamstring.
