​  ​​​     The Los Angeles Dodgers are holding their breath on Shohei Ohtani.In the seventh inning of their game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Dodgers pulled the two-way superstar in a two-run game, pinch-hitting him with Santiago Espinal in the leadoff spot. They soon announced Ohtani left the game with left knee inflammation.Starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski exited earlier with a right hamstring contusion.Ohtani has a history with that knee, as his 2019 season ended early due to surgery to repair a bipartite patella.Before his exit, Ohtani was 2-for-2 with two walks and a homer, his second in as many days. It’s unclear if any specific play caused the knee issue.This article will be updated with more information.
