Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will resume batting practice Tuesday as he recovers from right biceps inflammation, manager Dave Roberts said Monday.

Speaking before the Dodgers' road game against Cincinnati, Roberts said Ohtani had not swung a bat since being placed on the 15-day injured list. His activity has been limited to weight training, light exercise and treatment.

Left knee pain kept Ohtani off the mound beginning in early July. He subsequently experienced right biceps and neck pain while attempting to return to pitching. Earlier this month, he said he would concentrate on hitting for the remainder of the season.

Ohtani also struggled offensively before going on the injured list, missing the starting lineup in six of the Dodgers' previous seven games. He is batting .277 with 30 home runs and 80 RBIs this season.
