Roberts: Ohtani to Pitch, Hit in Next Start

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has announced that Shohei Ohtani will likely both pitch and hit in his next start on Tuesday in Houston. This comes after Ohtani's dominant pitching-only performance against the Mets, where he struck out 10 batters in six innings, allowing just one run.

Ohtani was held out of the lineup as a designated hitter in his previous start after getting hit by a pitch. The Dodgers are still determining the best approach for Ohtani on days he starts on the mound, with Roberts suggesting his next outing could see him return to both pitching and hitting roles. mchezo.life
