Shohei Ohtani remains out of the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup on Sunday for a fourth consecutive day, but manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism about his availability moving forward. Roberts said Ohtani's workout Saturday went well and he is trending toward returning to the lineup Monday night against the Cincinnati Reds, per ESPN and multiple other outlets.

While a return to the designated hitter role appears possible as soon as Monday, it is becoming increasingly likely that Ohtani will not pitch again this season, per Yahoo Sports and Sportsnet. Roberts said he expects Ohtani to be back in the lineup barring any setbacks, though the reporting does not specify what injury has sidelined him.
