LOS ANGELES - Shohei Ohtani was not in the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting lineup for the first time in 31 games Thursday as manager Dave Roberts revealed the two-way star was dealing with multiple health concerns.

Ohtani went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, striking out four times for the first time this year, and the skipper said the four-time MVP had issues moving his neck and his right biceps, which has been troubling him for some time.
