Ohtani (knee) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff Saturday against the White Sox.
Ohtani left Thursday's game early due to knee inflammation and didn't play Friday, but he seems to be ready to go Saturday after getting some rest. The two-way star has been surging at the plate this month, slashing .444/.535/.833 with three homers, nine RBI and 11 runs scored in nine games since June 1.
