Ohtani to pitch and hit in next start

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Shohei Ohtani will likely return to his two-way role in the team's next start. In his previous outing against the Mets, Ohtani dominated on the mound with 10 strikeouts and one run allowed in six innings while being held out of the lineup as a hitter. djcc.club

Ohtani's decision to pitch without hitting was considered a potential shift in approach, but Roberts suggested the star will return to both roles in Tuesday's game. The Dodgers are still determining the best approach for Ohtani on days he starts on the mound.
