Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman shut down the possibility of Shohei Ohtani pitching for the club during the postseason on Thursday, telling the Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett that Ohtani is " not really an option ."

One day after starting the prestigious 50/50 club in Major League Baseball, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani learned that he likely won't be pitching for the Dodgers in the looming National League playoffs.

Shohei Ohtani is at it again. The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar has hit a go-ahead, two-run homer with two outs in the fifth inning against the Colorado Rockies. His 52nd homer came on a 3-2 pitch from Kyle Freeland and put the Dodgers ahead 3-2.
