Day-to-day with injuries Ohtani (biceps) is considered day-to-day as he battles a pair of injuries, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ohtani is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale with the Cardinals as he continues to battle through lingering left knee discomfort and an additional right biceps issue. Manager Dave Roberts outlined that the 30-year-old's availability off the bench Thursday and his status for Friday's series opener with the Nationals will depend on further conversations with the team's training staff. Roberts views a stint on the injured list as unlikely, but "not impossible."

Shohei Ohtani Not In Dodgers Lineup vs. Cardinals After 0-4 Outing

Sitting Thursday amid discomfort Ohtani is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals amid knee and biceps discomfort.

Ohtani appeared to show physical discomfort in his four strikeout performance Wednesday as he is dealing with soreness in his left knee and right biceps. It remains to be seen how many games the superstar may rest until he renters the lineup. As for Thursday, Tommy Edman is batting leadoff while Alex Call is starting as the designated hitter.

No clear timeline to resume pitching Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admitted Wednesday that he's uncertain if Ohtani will pitch again this season while the two-way superstar manages left knee and right biceps soreness,...

Impact Ohtani, who hasn't pitched in a game since July 3 due to lingering soreness in his left knee and right biceps, appeared poised to make his return to the mound last weekend, but he was scratched from a potential start Sunday against the Tigers after he didn't feel healthy coming out of a 20-pitch bullpen session Friday. Roberts noted that until Ohtani throws another bullpen session, the Dodgers won't have a good feel for the next step in his pitching progression, with the skipper going as far as saying that using Ohtani exclusively as a designated hitter for the rest of the season is "an option." The Dodgers may soon consider giving Ohtani a day off from hitting as well. After Ohtani went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Cardinals, Roberts said that he plans to meet with the training staff and Ohtani on Thursday as the Dodgers "really try to figure out where he's at physically," per Beth Harris of the Associated Press.
