The Dodgers' recent decision to have Shohei Ohtani pitch without hitting raises concerns about his health. This deviation from his typical dual-role performance suggests something may be wrong with him.

It doesn't benefit the Los Angeles Dodgers in any way to come out and say it.
But right now, at least relative to the past, something must be a bit wrong with Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani again on Tuesday will just pitch and not hit, and while that would be normal for anyone else in baseball, it isn't normal for him.
In recent years, Ohtani has been in the batting order on the days he pitches. It's two-way mastery to the fullest extent.
But this season, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has taken Ohtani's bat out of the lineup more often than not when he starts on the mound.
Maybe the most concerning part here is that Roberts originally planned on Ohtani hitting Tuesday. Only after his Monday night showing did Roberts change his mind.
Ohtani is 0-for-17 at the plate in his last five games, so that's not an ideal selling point.

He also didn't have encouraging body language on Monday, according to Bill Blunkett of the Orange County Register.
Shohei Ohtani is currently only pitching due to potential health concerns, which is unusual for him as he typically plays both roles.
The Dodgers' choice to limit Ohtani's role suggests that there may be underlying issues affecting his performance.
Ohtani's health and performance are crucial for the Dodgers, and any issues could significantly impact their success this season.

Ohtani is still plenty valuable even if he does only one of his two-way skills at a time, but it's definitely a bit disappointing.
Part of the mystique of Ohtani is that he does it all. He's one of the best pitchers and best hitters in the sport, all in one.
Lately, though, the Dodgers have shied away from keeping everything on Ohtani's plate at once. And no matter what they say, that's not a great sign.
