Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani and what might’ve been

Following a 6-4 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers that ended their postseason run, the Los Angeles Dodgers are evaluating how to better manage Shohei Ohtani's health for the 2027 campaign. Ohtani intends to return to the mound next year, though he remains uncertain if he will require surgical intervention during the winter.

President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman noted that while the team maintained strong communication with the star, there were gaps in sharing the full extent of his physical condition throughout the season. The organization is now reviewing its training and treatment protocols after a year marked by various injuries that limited Ohtani's availability.
