Guillem Gonzalez-Lomas, MD from NYU Langone Sports Medicine Center joins New York Post Sports anchor Brandon London for the weekly ‘Injury Report’ segment to explain how the NFL’s institution of a ‘hip-drop’ tackle ban can protect players from sustaining lower body injuries.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts didn’t rule out letting the two-way superstar pitch for his team this postseason despite not toeing the rubber yet all season. With such a short build-up, Roberts admits the possibility of Ohtani facing hitters in a live game is still a long shot.

Alleged drunk driver accused of killing NHL star, his brother breaks down in court as he’s denied bail“If I was scripting a movie or writing a book, it would be a no-brainer that he comes out of rehabilitation and throws the last pitch,” Roberts said. “The problem is, in reality, he hasn’t thrown a leverage pitch in over a year. If he were to come out and it does go awry, it’s not worth potential injury. You just cannot duplicate the stress of that one inning. I just don’t think it’s worth it.

Anything the Dodgers can get from Ohtani, who has a 3.01 ERA IN 86 starts with the Angels, as a pitcher would be welcome. The team has dealt with countless injuries to their starting staff with Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Clayton Kershaw and many others missing time.NYCFC's Matt Freese bucked family's scientist aspirations to chase budding MLS stardom
