Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani tosses his bat after hitting a go-ahead two-run home run during the seventh inning of their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. LOS ANGELES — Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani won’t participate in the Home Run Derby on July 15 despite the Japanese superstar ranking second in the majors with 27 homers.
Ohtani is only hitting, not pitching, this season as he recovers from an injured elbow ligament. He had a procedure in September before agreeing to a $700 million, 10-year deal with the Dodgers in December. Roberts said it was more a case of the Derby interfering with Ohtani’s rehab than a concern about him getting hurt.Dodgers’ Dave Roberts ready to give Chris Taylor ‘runway’ to more playing time
