Several players were removed from games on July 19. But perhaps the most notable injury-related news on the day came from the Dodgers, as Shohei Ohtani won’t be starting on the mound anytime soon.

Basallo exits

Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo was removed in the second inning of Baltimore’s series finale versus the Astros.

It was due to a right shoulder injury.

Witt Jr. played through back injury

Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. did not play on the 19th thanks to back tightness.

Witt Jr. was playing through the injury one day earlier (h/t MLB.com).

Carroll leaves with elbow injury

Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll was pulled on July 19 with a hyperextended elbow.

Carroll is day-to-day, per manager Torey Lovullo.

Ohtani won’t start versus Phillies

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated that TWP Shohei Ohtani (knee) will not pitch in the club’s upcoming series versus the Phillies. Additionally, Roberts noted that Ohtani won’t be pitching anytime soon.

Ohtani did play both games of the club’s doubleheader versus the Yankees.
