Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed Wednesday that Shohei Ohtani's knee pain after a slide on Tuesday isn't significant enough to keep him off the field, but the accumulating injuries are still having an impact.
Roberts weighed in on Ohtani's health when speaking with Dodgers Nation's Ava Brand and other reporters on Wednesday.

"I know there's times that people talk about him wincing around third base, but everything that he's told me and the training staff, he feels good," Roberts said.
That said, Roberts confirmed that Ohtani's injuries are keeping him from pitching — and from possibly playing in the outfield as well.
