The Los Angeles Dodgers will be without Shohei Ohtani this weekend, though it’s for a good reason.
Ohtani remained in Los Angeles while the Dodgers traveled to north Texas to kick off their series with the Rangers on Friday, manager Dave Roberts confirmed, via The Los Angeles Times. Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, are expecting the birth of their first child this weekend.

It’s unclear how long Ohtani will be away from the team. He landed on the paternity list, where he can stay for up to three days. After a three-game series with the Rangers, the Dodgers will travel to Chicago to play a two-game stint with the Cubs at Wrigley Field starting on Tuesday.
The Dodgers called up Eddie Rosario to replace Ohtani on the roster while he is away.
Ohtani has been incredibly private about his personal life. It wasn’t known that he was even in a relationship with Tanaka, who is a former professional basketball player in Japan, until the month after he announced their marriage. The couple revealed in December that they were expecting their first child.

Ohtani holds a .288 batting average with six home runs and eight RBI over 20 games with the Dodgers this season. The 30-year-old — who helped lead the Dodgers to a World Series win last season, won his third MVP and became the first player in league history to complete a 50-50 campaign — underwent elbow surgery at the end of last season. He’s yet to take the mound again, and spent all of last season as the full-time DH. It’s unknown when Ohtani will pitch again, though Roberts said earlier this week that Ohtani is “still a couple months away” from doing so.
The Dodgers hold a 14-6 record this season entering Friday night’s game at Globe Life Field. They’ve won five of their last seven games, which includes a three-game sweep over the Colorado Rockies earlier this week.

2025 All-Undrafted Team: Michigan’s Donovan Edwards, All-American LBs headline high-profile NFL Draft snubs
Getty Images The 2025 NFL Draft has come to a close, and countless former college football stars were not selected in the 257 picks and seven rounds. Among the players left out were two unanimous All-Americans, a few other consensus All-Americans, a "College Football 25" cover star, and several players who seemed destined for big things only a few short years ago. Instead, the list of players who were not selected in the draft is robust enough to create a great team of its own -- so we did it. Even with our 24 selections, we didn't get around to high-profile players like DJ Uiagalelei, Henry Parrish Jr. or Mario Williams, who felt like locks to earn a draft pick in the recent past. It's always worth remembering, college football success is no guarantee of NFL opportunity. With the 241st pick, former […]

Luis Fabiano sinaliza clube do Brasileirão alvo de “amadorismo”: “Falta de respeito”
Luis Fabiano, no programa Resenha da Rodada (Reprodução - ESPN) Luis Fabiano, em abordagem sobre o Cruzeiro, fez questão de reprovar o comportamento de Pedro Lourenço. Antes da partida contra o Vasco, o dono do clube mineiro, em gesto para torcedores, indicou que Dudu está fora dos planos e deve rescindir o atual contrato. Levando em conta que o empresário foi o responsável por assinar o vínculo e celebrou o acerto, a postura acabou sendo vista de forma totalmente amadora e desrespeitosa com o jogador. “É uma falta de respeito com o atleta! Ele que assinou o contrato e fez festa (na apresentação). É lamentável isso aí, não pode acontecer. Ele está comandando um grande clube multicampeão como o Cruzeiro.
