Shohei Ohtani Out Of MLB All-Star Game, Will Also Miss Friday Night's Start

Shohei Ohtani won’t pitch Friday and has withdrawn from the All‑Star Game because of left‑knee irritation, but he’ll still serve as the Dodgers’ DH through the weekend.
June MRIs showed inflammation but no major damage; he’ll undergo medical interventions after the series instead of attending the Midsummer Classic.
Ohtani remains dominant at the plate (95 hits, 20 HR, 56 RBI in 85 games) as the Dodgers sit atop MLB at 61‑33.
