Ohtani carved five innings with 68 pitches and a fastball peak near 102 mph, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled him to protect his health. The bullpen then collapsed, letting six runs in the sixth through ninth as the Phillies surged to a 9-6 win. Ohtani’s brilliance remains, but the innings cap creates a volatile late game for fantasy rosters.

Dodgers’ caution underscores the two-way star’s long-term value over short-term gains. For fantasy managers, monitor Ohtani’s workload and bullpen usage, especially against power-heavy clubs, as the rest of the series could hinge on late-inning bullpen performance and the ongoing balancing act between health and production.

Philly storms back at Dodger Stadium after Ohtani’s five scoreless frames, riding Harper’s RBI double and Marsh’s three-run blast to grab a 6-4 lead. Dodgers bullpen wobble opens the door for Kepler’s solo shot as the Phillies surge in the sixth, leaving a stunned LA with a loss despite a strong Ohtani start. A late rally caps a dramatic, fantasy-friendly comeback with power, RBIs, and bullpen intrigue shaping rest-of-week values.
