Here’s five things we learned from the Dodgers’ 3-1 win over the Angels on Saturday evening.
Shohei Ohtani didn’t do interviews in the press conference area after Saturday’s game like he normally does. Instead he sat by his locker, his right leg propped up and his knee wrapped with a thick, padded bandage.
But even if he is ready, it’s unlikely Angels manager Mike Scioscia starts him against Dodgers lefty Alex Wood. Ohtani entered Saturday hitting .333 against righties and .121 against lefties.
Because of Ohtani’s uneven splits, it’s possible Scioscia would’ve rested him anyway. After he limped away following a strikeout against Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, it’s almost certain.
