Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that superstar Shohei Ohtani is set to play as a designated hitter in his first spring training game against the Angels. While Ohtani continues to recover from a left shoulder injury sustained during the World Series, Roberts is optimistic about his eventual return to pitching, although there’s uncertainty around the timing. Ohtani, who had an impressive record as a batter last season, won his third MVP award and made history with 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases, achieving the 50/50 milestone in Major League Baseball.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Shohei Ohtani will make his first spring training appearance of the year on Friday night against the Angels.
Hopeful for Ohtani's return to the pitching mound, Roberts stated he aims for it to be 'sooner than later,' despite ruling him out for the opening series in Tokyo.
