Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes reiterated that Shohei Ohtani is unlikely to pitch this season.
Jack Flaherty will start Game 1 of this weekend’s National League Division Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers, with rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto set for Game 2. Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Wednesday that the team hasn't finalized plans for Games 3 and potentially 4, but Walker Buehler and rookie Landon Knack will be involved. The Dodgers will play the winner of the NL Wild Card between the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres, who lead the best-of-three series 1-0.
'We don’t anticipate him pitching in the postseason,' the GM said. Instead, the Dodgers will rely on his bat to help carry them, as Ohtani did in his record-setting first season with the team. The Dodgers finished the regular season with the best record in baseball , earning the No. 1 seed in the NL and guaranteeing home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. That gave them a bye and once again the team is off for five days going into the NLDS.
