Shohei Ohtani rests out of Dodgers lineup for two games

Shohei Ohtani will miss back-to-back games in the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers amid an early-season slump at the plate. The decision comes after he pitched on Wednesday night in the series against the San Francisco Giants.

Manager Dave Roberts explained the move as a needed reset for the two-way star. Ohtani has slashed .240/.370/.427 with seven home runs through 39 games this season. Roberts said the quality of at-bats had declined consistently and that sitting Ohtani would help him regain his mechanics and focus.
