Shohei Ohtani missed his fourth straight game Sunday night for the Los Angeles Dodgers, sitting out the series finale against Washingtonbecause of left knee and right biceps discomfort.

Speaking before the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani's workout Saturday went well and he's trending toward returning to the L.A. lineup Monday against the Cincinnati Reds.

"If nothing else changes, or it continues to trend, I see him in there tomorrow," Roberts told reporters.
