Ohtani Saved by Bat Boy, Ponders Home Run Derby

Shohei Ohtani was saved from a potential injury by the Dodgers' bat boy, Javier Herrera, who caught a foul ball headed towards Ohtani in the dugout during a game against the Chicago White Sox. Ohtani expressed his gratitude to Herrera for his quick reaction, which prevented a serious accident. In the same game, Ohtani hit his 25th home run of the season, extending his RBI streak to a franchise-record 10 games. Ohtani is contemplating participating in the 2024 Home Run Derby, though Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is cautious due to Ohtani's recent elbow surgery. The Dodgers won the game 4-0, with Gavin Stone pitching a complete game shutout.
