""I don't know," Roberts said when asked if Ohtani would pitch in the WBC at the Winter Meetings. "I'm hoping he doesn't. ... I would say, the thought is he's probably just going to hit, but I don't know.""
""It's going well," Edman said. "It's just kind of recovering a day at a time, slowly but surely. I'm going to be in a boot for a couple more weeks and then keep moving around Christmas time and hopefully be 100 percent for next year.""
The World Baseball Classic is three months away, and Shohei Ohtani has declared he will play after returning to pitching earlier this season. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he does not know whether Ohtani will pitch for Japan and expressed hope that Ohtani will serve only as a hitter. Roki Sasaki was named to Japan's preliminary WBC roster. Dodgers second baseman Tommy Edman is recovering from offseason surgery, remains in a boot for a couple more weeks, and expects to resume movement around Christmas with the goal of being fully healthy next season. Former Dodgers infielder Jeff Kent was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Multiple Dodgers roster and trade stories continue to develop.
