Shohei Ohtani (DH - LAD)
4/22/26 10:35 PM - Shohei Ohtani might be held out of the lineup during more pitching starts, Dodgers manager says. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is committed to Shohei Ohtani’s health and keeping him fresh to perform both on the mound and at the plate for the long haul. And that may look different by the day or week, depending how the two-way star is feeling. For some games, that could mean Ohtani pitches but isn’t batting as the designated hitter, and Roberts plans to keep his options open. Ohtani made his fourth mound start Wednesday night against the San Francisco Giants. A week earlier, Ohtani was held out of the lineup while pitching for the first time since 2021.

Four weeks in, and the closer carousel is spinning over time. I feel like this happens every single season, and every single offseason, I forget about it entirely. Next thing I know, I’m drafting Ryan Walker in the sixth round of ECFBL because “I’ve got to get a closer”, forgetting that there will be ten available in the first month on waivers. Please, blog, may I have some more?
