- Dave Roberts rated Shohei Ohtani's health at "probably an eight or a nine" on a 1-10 scale, calling the Dodgers' two-way star "considerably" healthier as his return nears.
- Shohei Ohtani is set to be back in the Dodgers' lineup Wednesday against the Padres following his improvement.
Why it matters: With Ohtani returning at what Roberts himself rates as 80-90% health rather than a full recovery, the Dodgers are deploying their two-way star now against the Padres instead of waiting for a perfect 10 — meaning Los Angeles prioritizes his bat in the lineup over a complete return to form.
