Dodgers Star Has Tear in UCL, Will Miss Significant Time

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani has been diagnosed with a slightly torn UCL and is expected to miss significant time. The injury was revealed around July 22, 2026, during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The loss of Ohtani, who was seen reacting with catcher Dalton Rushing after a home run, is considered a major blow to the Dodgers.
