Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirms Shohei Ohtani won’t pitch in the MLB All-Star Game to protect his health.

Shohei Ohtani is OK with going from the mound to the batter's box, but LA manager Dave Roberts said he doesn't want to make a habit of that on days he pitches.

Shohei Ohtani's second pitching appearance as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers is in the books. Ohtani, who is slowly building up following his September 2023 elbow surgery, threw a scoreless first inning against the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium on Sunday (GameTracker).
