Shohei Ohtani is expected to miss a third straight game, which would be a first since he joined the Los Angeles Dodgers, manager Dave Roberts said after the team’s game.

Ohtani has already sat out two consecutive games during a severe hitting slump. He has gone 60 at-bats without a home run, the longest such stretch since joining the Dodgers.

The two-way Japanese star is also dealing with discomfort extending from his right upper arm toward his neck, as well as pain in his left knee. He remains listed for daily evaluation. Roberts said Ohtani was not expected to go on the injured list, although that remained possible.

Roberts said Ohtani had cooperated with the team’s decision to rest him. “The person we saw a few days ago was not the usual him. It was obvious that he was in significant physical discomfort,” Roberts said.
