What happened to Shohei Ohtani's on-base streak during his pitching only start?

"This one game, it just makes the most sense to give us the best chance to manage the shoulder and back, said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts."

"Ohtani proceeded to limit the Mets to just one run and set a season high with 10 strikeouts over six innings."

"Ohtani's active on-base streak of 48 games is still intact, as he did not make a plate appearance in the Dodgers' win."

"Wednesday was the first time since May 28, 2021, that Ohtani did not hit during a pitching start, indicating a potential strategy for future games."

The Dodgers managed Shohei Ohtani's workload by having him pitch only against the Mets, with Dalton Rushing taking over as designated hitter. This decision followed Ohtani being hit by a pitch on his shoulder. Ohtani excelled, allowing just one run and achieving 10 strikeouts. His streak of not allowing an earned run ended at 32.2 innings, but his on-base streak of 48 games remained intact. This marked the first time since May 2021 that Ohtani did not hit during a pitching start, indicating a potential strategy for future games.
