Shohei Ohtani thinks flawed pitching mechanics led to recent knee swelling

CHICAGO — Turns out Shohei Ohtani actually does have a theory about what caused his recent left knee inflammation, after all. After returning to the Dodgers’ lineup on Saturday — and promptly hitting a leadoff home run before later drawing three walks — Ohtani spoke to reporters for the first time since Thursday, when he left the team’s game in Pittsburgh early with swelling in his knee that would keep him sidelined on Friday, as well. Previously, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had said the cause of Ohtani’s injury was unknown, speculating only that it might have occurred while he was running the bases Thursday night.
