Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani arrives 9 days early to spring training
"Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani made an appearance in Arizona on Wednesday, nine days before pitchers and catchers report to Camelback Ranch for spring training. While there, Ohtani played catch and did a photo shoot. Emmet Sheehan and Anthony Banda also reported early. Pitchers and catchers are set to arrive at Camelback Ranch Feb. 13, and the rest of the team will report Feb. 17 for the first full-squad workout of the season. Their opening game of spring training comes against the Los Angeles Angels later that week on Feb. 21."
"During these games and practices, the Dodgers will decide who to bring add onto the few roster spots they have heading into the 2026 season. Their pitching staff is a different story, as the bullpen is all but solidified. Edwin Diaz has a spot in the bullpen for sure, but beyond him and Tanner Scott - who's still under contract for three years - things are wide open."
Shohei Ohtani visited Camelback Ranch in Arizona nine days before pitchers and catchers report, throwing and participating in a photo shoot. Emmet Sheehan and Anthony Banda also reported early. Pitchers and catchers arrive Feb. 13, with the full team reporting Feb. 17 and the spring opener against the Angels on Feb. 21. The Dodgers will play 33 spring games, including a matchup with Team Mexico ahead of the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Spring training will determine a few remaining roster spots, with position starters largely set after the Kyle Tucker signing and pitching roles, especially in the bullpen, still unsettled.
