Ohtani Returns as Dodgers Surge | Sports News

Shohei Ohtani is back in the Dodgers’ lineup for Wednesday after a brief pause, and his return could be game-changing. The Dodgers are 88-57 and leading the NL West, but showed they can still win without him—going 4-0 in his absence. Ohtani’s stats remain elite: .277 AVG, .380 OBP, .522 SLG, 30 homers, 80 RBIs. With the Reds struggling at 69-76, the Dodgers’ offense—with Ohtani at the top of the order—is poised to make a statement. His presence isn’t just valuable—it’s essential.
