While players have a separate rest status as a hitter and a pitcher, they will play together. The goal was to set it up how we has somewhat been told how Ohtani was going to be used: tired after pitching, and rest him before his start.
So you should notice that if he bats and/or plays the field on the day before his starts, he may not be 100% pitching on his starts (although if there's been off-days or he got other days off, then he might still be fine sometimes). And he will most likely not be 100% hitting on the day after he starts. And by default, we will try to sit him out the day before he starts so that he can be 100% for his starts.
I think we'll continue to watch how he's used going forward, and will continue to take suggestions on how other plays should be used too if they become two-way players, but I think we have a decent balance between getting them playing time, but not being too generous or too restrictive with fatigue.
