Shohei Ohtani Will Only Pitch on Tuesday Against Marlins
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani will only pitch on Tuesday in Game 2 of the series against the visiting Miami Marlins, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. Ohtani will only be on five days of rest for this one, and the Dodgers-Marlins game has an earlier start time on Tuesday. It's the second time this year that the 31-year-old four-time MVP won't serve as the team's designated hitter on the day that he is scheduled to pitch. Ohtani seems immortal, but after all, he's still human, and the Dodgers like to get him some rest when they can. The five-time All-Star has hit .278 (30-for-108) at the plate so far in 28 games this year with six home runs, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored, and three steals. He's been even better on the mound, allowing just two runs (one earned) while walking six and fanning 25 in 24 innings over his four starts. Ohtani is a no-brainer must-start as a pitcher in all fantasy lineups on Tuesday in L.A. versus the Fish.
