The Dodgers Have Options If Shohei Ohtani Goes On The IL

Dodgers may rest or even place Shohei Ohtani on the IL to let his knee and biceps recover before the postseason — manager Dave Roberts calls it unlikely but “an option.”
Short-term covers include Alex Call and Dalton Rushing as DH/platoon options — Call profiles better vs. lefties, Rushing mashes righties.
Prospect intrigue: James Tibbs III (Triple-A) and Josue De Paula (Double-A) are hitting well and could get a September call if the Dodgers need offense.
