Dodgers sit Shohei Ohtani to 'build him up slowly' after 2

Shohei Ohtani was out of the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup on Tuesday night, a day after he went 0 for 3 on his return from a four-day break because of nagging injuries. Ohtani struck out twice and had a walk as the designated hitter in a 6-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. Manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani came out of the game well but after talking to the training staff the decision was made to build him up slowly.
