When it comes to Shohei Ohtani’s health, the Dodgers have plenty of hope — but few precise expectations. That, at least, was the way manager Dave Roberts framed his superstar’s status on the eve of the National League Division Series on Friday, saying he was hopeful Ohtani would play well after battling right arm and left knee injuries during the second half of the season, but also acknowledging that he was “not so sure” about exactly what the slugger would be able to provide. “I know that once the lights turn on, the postseason starts, [his] focus will be heightened,” Roberts said.
