Dodgers Digest: A Healthier Ohtani Heading Into October
Per ESPN, the extra rest before the postseason has the Dodgers expecting Shohei Ohtani closer to full strength at the top of the order.

Ohtani trending up
Per ESPN, the Dodgers are expecting a healthier Shohei Ohtani for the start of the playoffs, and the break in the schedule before the postseason is a big reason why. When your best player gets extra time to recover before the games start mattering most, that's a win before a pitch is even thrown. No excuses now — get him right, and let him hit.
That's the Dodgers-specific news out there today. The rest of the wire was mostly league-wide stuff — bracket previews, expert predictions for the whole field, and the ABS challenge system rankings — none of it about this club specifically, so we're not wasting your time on it here. Stick with us for the stuff that actually matters to the Dodgers as October gets going.
