Los Angeles Dodgers phenom Shohei Ohtani is playing through a bruised hamstring but insists it won't slow his legendary swing as the team gears up for a rescheduled game against the New York Mets 🌆⚡. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Saturday that the two-way superstar has been advised to 'take it easy' after getting injured by a pickoff throw during their last homestand.
🗣️ 'I don't think [the injury] is affecting my swing,' Ohtani told reporters, flashing his trademark calm. 'The leg isn't 100%, but I'm ready to go.'
Mother Nature had other plans for Monday's opener, though – heavy rain flooded New York's Citi Field, pushing the game to Tuesday at 4:10 p.m. local time 🌧️. Dodgers fans worldwide are now counting down to see if Ohtani can deliver his signature rocket hits while managing the injury. 💪
