BIG DECISION: Shohei Ohtani SKIPS the All Star Game | Los Angeles Dodgers SWEPT for First Time in 26

The Los Angeles Dodgers make a pivotal call by prioritizing Shohei Ohtani’s postseason health, opting to rest him through the All-Star break amid knee irritation. Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers debate fan disappointment versus the bigger October picture, spotlight Ohtani’s superhuman resilience, and break down the ripple effects of recent starting rotation setbacks for Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. The discussion covers the Dodgers’ surprise sweep by the Arizona Diamondbacks, defensive miscues, and the bullpen’s reliability with Edwin Diaz beginning his rehab assignment. Can Tanner Scott continue his strong closing performances, and which returning player will shape L.A.’s second-half push? Key questions linger on timely hitting, defensive lapses, and the team’s depth. All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers.
