Story summary
  • Shohei Ohtani remains sidelined from pitching because of a lingering left-knee injury and a right-biceps problem.
  • He has not pitched since July 3, when he left a 110-pitch start.
  • Ohtani said his knee is improving, his biceps still trouble him, and his return will be reconsidered in August or September.
  • The Dodgers expect him to be healthy for the postseason and say he must rebuild stamina before full-length starts.
