Los Angeles Dodgers in Major League Baseball (MLB)Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani took another hit on the 20th when he was hit in the back by a 99.8 mph fastball from Padres closer Robert Suarez in the ninth inning. After the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts also disclosed Ohtani's condition.

Roberts stated that Ohtani was not injured and is expected to play normally the next day, which will not affect his starting appearance against the Nationals on the 23rd. "He's fine; he managed to dodge it a bit, so there's no serious issue," he said.

When asked by the media if he would rush onto the field if he saw Ohtani get hit, Roberts humorously replied, "No, I wouldn’t go out there; I was in the office at that time." His witty response drew laughter from the media present. The two teams had a heated moment in the ninth due to the hit-by-pitch, leading both benches to clear, and Roberts even exchanged heated words with Padres manager Mike Shildt, resulting in both being ejected from the game.
