Mankato, MN, October 21, 2026 —
The Dodgers have said Shohei Ohtani’s knee and biceps injuries will require rest during the offseason rather than surgery, according to the Mankato Free Press. The report describes the team’s stated approach to the injuries but does not provide further medical details.

Without further information, the specific medical outlook and timing remain unclear.
