"excerpt": "Los Angeles Dodgers ace Shohei Ohtani was forced to leave the mound early after a right‑biceps strain during a 110‑pitch outing against the San Diego Padres. The team has decided to keep him off the lineup for Saturday to allow extra recovery time.",
"body_html": "<h2>अंग्रेज़ी</h2>n<p>In a high‑stakes matchup at Dodger Stadium, Shohei Ohtani delivered a career‑best 110 pitches before a sudden right‑biceps tighten‑up forced him out in the seventh inning. The star pitcher‑hitter will sit out Saturday’s game, giving his arm a chance to heal before the next series.</p>n<h2>Game Recap</h2>n<p>The Dodgers opened the game with a solid start, but the Padres’ offense kept the pressure on. Ohtani, who has been a dual threat for the Dodgers, threw a mix of fastballs and breaking pitches, keeping the Padres’ hitters off balance. By the seventh inning, however, a sudden cramp in his right biceps made it clear that he could no longer maintain the intensity required.</p>n<h2>Ohtani’s Performance</h2>n<p>Despite the early exit, Ohtani’s outing was statistically impressive:</p>n<ul>n <li>110 pitches – a season high for the pitcher</li>n <li>4 innings of work with 2 earned runs allowed</li>n <li>3 strikeouts, 2 walks, and 1 hit</li>n <li>He also recorded a hit in the same game, showcasing his dual‑role value</li>n</ul>n<h2>Injury Details</h2>n<p>The right‑biceps strain was identified during the game by the Dodgers’ medical staff. Ohtani’s arm had been under significant load from both pitching and hitting duties, and the sudden tightening was a clear sign of overuse. The team’s decision to rest him aligns with standard injury protocols for biceps strains.</p>n<h2>Team Response</h2>n<p>Dodgers manager and coaching staff confirmed that Ohtani will be held out of Saturday’s lineup. The decision was made to prevent further aggravation and to give the player a chance to recover fully before the next series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.</p>n<h2>Impact on the Lineup</h2>n<p>Ohtani’s absence will affect both the pitching rotation and the batting order:</p>n<ul>n <li>Pitching: The Dodgers will rely on their bullpen to cover the innings Ohtani would have pitched.</li>n <li>Offense: The lineup will shift to accommodate a different hitter in Ohtani’s spot, potentially altering the team’s power dynamics.</li>n</ul>n<h2>Recovery Plan</h2>n<p>The Dodgers’ medical team has outlined a conservative recovery plan that includes:</p>n<ul>n <li>Rest and limited arm usage for the next 24–48 hours</li>n <li>Physical therapy focusing on strengthening and flexibility exercises</li>n <li>Monitoring of pain levels and range of motion before any return to play</li>n</ul>n<h2>Dodgers Outlook</h2>n<p
