Did the Dodgers Mishandle Shohei Ohtani’s Injury? | Episode 421

The Dodgers have won seven consecutive games, but Shohei Ohtani’s move to the injured list has overshadowed their surge.

Cody, Drea and Anthony debate whether the Dodgers waited too long to shut Ohtani down, what Dave Roberts meant by “kicking the can down the road” and whether Ohtani needs to be protected from his own desire to remain in the lineup.

The crew also discusses the offensive breakout against Cincinnati, the call-up of top prospect Josue De Paula, realistic expectations for his major league opportunity and the Dodgers’ shrinking magic number.

Plus: Freddie Freeman’s injury, Edwin Díaz’s potential return, possible MLB expansion cities and a preview of the upcoming series in Miami.
