Shohei Ohtani leaves late in Dodgers' win over Padres with back tightness

Los Angeles Dodgers star designated hitter Shohei Ohtani left after his fourth at-bat in a 5-0 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night with what manager Dave Roberts said was back tightness. Ohtani went 0 for 3 with a walk, grounding out to the pitcher in his final at-bat in the seventh inning. While Roberts said his concern was “minimal,” but was “more leaning” toward having Ohtani sit out Sunday as a precautionary measure.
