The D-backs will get their first taste of Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.

Mookie Betts homered in the Dodgers win over the Reds. Will Smith left in the fourth inning shortly after getting hit in the left knee by a pitch, and Shohei Ohtani fouled a ball off his left foot but stayed in the game to finish that at-bat.

The decision to pause Shohei Ohtani’s throwing program was made with an understanding of how unique his situation is, Los Angeles Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior says.
