Minot Bismarck Dickinson, ND, September 22, 2026 — Shohei Ohtani, the prominent two-way player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is anticipated to be back in the team’s starting lineup on Wednesday. This return follows a period where Ohtani was placed on the injured list.

The reason for Ohtani’s absence from the lineup was attributed to soreness in both his biceps and knee. The exact duration of his injured list stint was not provided. The Dodgers have not yet officially announced his activation, but his expected return marks a significant moment for the team.

Details regarding the specific day of his placement on the injured list were not included in the provided information. Similarly, the exact nature and severity of the biceps and knee soreness were not specified. The team’s medical staff and management have not publicly disclosed the full extent of his condition beyond the general descriptions of soreness.

Ohtani’s unique ability to excel as both a pitcher and a hitter makes his presence critical for the Dodgers. While his status as a pitcher has been managed due to previous elbow injuries requiring surgery, his offensive contributions have remained a key component of the team’s strategy. The report indicates his return to the lineup is focused on his hitting duties.

The specific game in which he is expected to return on Wednesday was not detailed, nor was the opponent. The timeline for his recovery and readiness to play was determined by the club’s medical professionals. Further updates on his performance and condition are expected following his reinstatement to the active roster.
