Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani returns to lineup vs. White Sox
Jun 11, 2026; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (17) advances to third base on a hit and run against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the fourth inning at PNC Park. Mandatory Credit: Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Star Shohei Ohtani returned to the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the host Chicago White Sox on Saturday.
Ohtani was slated to serve as the designated hitter and bat in the leadoff position on Saturday.
He sat out Los Angeles' 8-2 setback in the series opener on Friday, one day after left knee inflammation caused his removal from the Dodgers' 8-6 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Ohtani, 31, is hitting .305 with 13 homers and 40 RBIs this season. The two-way star also has a 6-2 record and a 1.06 ERA in 11 starts on the mound.
The four-time MVP (including each of the last three seasons) has a career .283 batting average with 293 homers and 709 RBIs across 1,081 games with the Los Angeles Angels (2018-23) and Dodgers.
