LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani can’t do everything, especially on days when the Los Angeles Dodgers want him to do just one thing. That’s part of his whole appeal as a two-way player, leaning into his ability to do what no one else can and take over a game all by himself.So the Dodgers felt it when they didn’t have Ohtani’s bat in the lineup on Tuesday. In an attempt to preserve Ohtani for a full season, they restricted him to just pitching duties for the second time in his last three starts. An Ohtani-less offense mustered just one run in a 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins. The Dodgers’ situational at-bats were putrid on a night where they had little margin for error. It didn’t help that they were shut down by Janson Junk, a right-hander in his sixth organization who has finally found a foothold in the majors with Miami.Advertisement
