Shohei Ohtani Will Get Thursday Off
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani will be off for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, according to manager Dave Roberts. Catcher Will Smith will likely serve as the designated hitter, which means Dalton Rushing should be behind the plate. It will be Ohtani's first true day off of 2025 after he missed two games in April while on the paternity list. The 31-year-old Japanese legend will be taking the mound in Colorado on Wednesday, so that also probably has something to do with Ohtani getting his first true day off on Thursday. The three-time MVP continues to be one of the best hitters in baseball this year, slashing .285/.392/.621 with a 1.014 OPS, 43 home runs, 81 RBI, 118 runs and 17 steals in 478 at-bats. He's slashing .381/.506/.746 with six homers, 10 RBI, 20 runs and four steals since the All-Star break.
