Shohei Ohtani is getting a breather, and the Dodgers are hoping that's enough. After striking out four times Wednesday night in a ten-inning loss to St. Louis, Ohtani sat Thursday with lingering biceps and neck issues. General manager Brandon Gomes addressed the concern head-on, calling Ohtani a victim of his own greatness — essentially saying the expectations around him amplify every rough stretch. The Dodgers aren't panicking, but they're watching closely.

Prime's program is back in the spotlight before the calendar even turns to September.
And in the NBA, Andrew Wiggins is fired up about reuniting with Klay Thompson, the two championship teammates back together after their title run in two thousand twenty two. Wiggins called it an exciting reunion, and for a franchise looking to rebuild some identity, that kind of chemistry from proven winners could matter more than people realize.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
