Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Playing Through Hamstring Injury, Manager Dave Roberts Says

Shohei Ohtani has been playing through a hamstring injury in recent games.

Following the Dodgers 3-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds Saturday, manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani suffered a hamstring injury during the team's last home stand and that the team is working with him to make sure he doesn't get worse.

"Our advice to him is just be smart with it," Roberts said. "I think he was just going to leg out a double and the ball just didn't get in [to the infield], so he kept running. It is him just managing the hamstring.
