Shohei Ohtani returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers’ lineup Wednesday after missing two weeks with right biceps discomfort and collected a hit in his first at-bat, AP coverage via WRAL reported.

Manager Dave Roberts reshuffled the top of the order with Mookie Betts’s hot September form in focus. Rookie Josue De Paula was optioned to Triple-A after filling the DH role, with a postseason recall possible. Tarik Skubal came off the bereavement list ahead of a Friday start in San Francisco.

Accounts agree Ohtani’s return is a playoff-readiness story; they diverge on how quickly he regains full DH-to-two-way workload.

Officials and independent outlets continue updating confirmed details as they become available. NewsHabit’s card sticks to multi-outlet confirmation for this edition and notes where accounts still diverge, without projecting outcomes that the published record does not yet support. Readers should treat timed deadlines, hearings, and launch windows as live until a second independent outlet confirms a change.

Both sides of contested claims are preserved in the agreement and conflict fields so the homepage card does not collapse disagreement into a single narrative voice.

Where administrations, campaigns, or corporate spokespeople dispute characterizations, those disputes are preserved in the agreement and conflict fields rather than collapsed into a single narrative voice.
