Ohtani's IL stint lands on rookies still rising into it

Shohei Ohtani's 2018 Topps Update #US1 rookie in PSA 10 traded 130 times on eBay in the 30 days to September 10. The median was $649.00 USD, up 11.9% on the 30 days before, into the injury.

The Dodgers placed him on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, backdated to September 8, for right arm discomfort on swings. Josue De Paula, ESPN's No. 10 prospect, takes most of the DH at-bats; Ohtani's earliest return is September 23.

We flagged the absence on September 6. We posted the unpriced end of his pitching year two days later. Judge's PSA 10 rookies rose on his own IL stint the same week.
