Shohei Ohtani Activated From Paternity List
The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (paternity) from the paternity list prior to their contest on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. Ohtani was held out of action for the past two games but is set to return for the series final on Sunday. Over his last nine contests, the reigning NL MVP has posted a stellar .308/.357/.590 slash line with three home runs and three stolen bases. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers have designated outfielder Eddy Rosario for assignment. Through 20 games this season, Ohtani has posted strong .288/.380/.550 slash line with six long balls and five stolen bases. He has generated an elite .466 xwOBA with a .718 xSLG, which places him in the 98th and 99th percentile, respectively. He will be a must-start option on Sunday facing Texas right-hander Tyler Mahle.
