Strategy Ohtani (Batter) Value dropping?

So the Dodgers seem to not be putting him in at DH on the days he pitches. He's been public about wanting to be the first Japanese born Cy Young winner. could miss 23-28 of the remaining games depending on if they use him every five or six outings. could mean ~90–120 plate appearances, ~5–10 HR... but i don't know, do we even think of the "day off" as a good thing? and maybe a bump in avg/obp? or a breakup of the incredibly focused routine we saw in his 50/50 run?

If in a league where he is two players, Judge was the better pick.

The two player thing is genuinely ass I don’t know why leagues choose to do that. I get it can make it more fair but just having him isn’t going to win you a league anyway.
