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.

Two-time AL MVP Shohei Ohtani got a two-run blast off Miami Marlins starter Darren McCaughan on Tuesday night to move to 48 homers and 48 steals on the year.
