The Los Angeles Dodgers began their road trip without Shohei Ohtani, who was placed on the paternity list as his wife was about to give birth. Ohtani announced on Instagram that they welcomed a daughter, although her name was not disclosed. During his absence, the Dodgers won four consecutive games but faced a loss to the Texas Rangers. Ohtani is expected to return for the next game against the Chicago Cubs as MLB rules allow for short paternity leave.
"Welcome to the Ohtani Family! I am so grateful to my loving wife who gave birth to our healthy beautiful daughter. Thank you for making us... anxious parents."
"Dave Roberts said Shohei Ohtani texted him. He is expected back with #Dodgers for Sunday's game."
