""But how sustainable is it without kind of taking a little bit off his plate, that's the question. And it's not an exact science.""

""Roberts said Ohtani was fine with the decision because there is an organizational understanding among the players that management makes decisions for their benefit.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers decided to have Shohei Ohtani pitch only against the Miami Marlins, limiting his dual role. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledges this decision may not maximize Ohtani's value but emphasizes the importance of his health. Ohtani's workload is carefully managed, focusing on sustainability. The decision is made case-by-case, balancing team needs and Ohtani's well-being. Roberts believes that while Ohtani's dual role is ideal, it may not be sustainable long-term, and the organization prioritizes his health and performance.
