Shohei Ohtani was held out of the Dodgers' lineup for a second consecutive game Friday due to lingering injuries. The issues affecting the star include biceps and neck problems, per ESPN and Sportsnet. One report also cited knee issues.

Manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Friday's game that an IL stint was "unlikely" but "not impossible," according to Yahoo Sports' Ian Casselberry. ESPN reported that Roberts remains "hopeful" the two-way star can avoid the injured list altogether. This marks the first time Ohtani has missed back-to-back games all season.
