“The Dodgers are putting Shohei Ohtani on the injured record. He should go on the 15-day IL as a two-way participant. The earliest he can return is Sept. 23. The wild-card spherical begins Sept. 29. The NLDS would begin Oct. 3. Josue De Paula will seemingly change Ohtani because the on a regular basis DH," Dodgers reporter Noah Camras wrote.

On Wednesday afternoon, LA determined to activate Ohtani and ship Josue De Paula again down.

“Shohei Ohtani was activated off the injured record Wednesday, as anticipated, and batted second in opposition to opposing left-hander Robbie Ray, a part of a leadoff platoon the Los Angeles Dodgers are experimenting with now that Mookie Betts is surging offensively.
