Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani getting brief break, skipping Wednesday's start

Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers will skip his scheduled Wednesday start as part of a planned rest day. The decision comes as the Dodgers face a grueling stretch of 13 games in 13 consecutive days, prompting team management to give the two-way star a brief break. Ohtani, who contributes both as a pitcher and hitter, will be rested to manage his workload during the demanding schedule.
