Shohei Ohtani is dealing with inflammation in his left knee that isn’t going away, but he’s still found a way to be productive, including hitting a game-winning home run on Tuesday.
Ohtani on Wednesday gave up a four-run inning, just the second multi-run frame against him all season. But he still completed six innings in the win, something he’s done in 11 of his 12 starts. The blister on his right hand has bugged him for a few starts and busted open during Wednesday’s game.
Plus, Justin Wrobleski stayed hot and worked quick to beat the Rays in under two hours, on four days of rest. Will Smith won’t be ready to return this Friday, as he still works through his neck inflammation. Teoscar Hernández might be ready for a rehab assignment next week. Brock Stewart is getting closer to a return as well, likely throwing on back-to-back days in the minors this week.
