Shohei Ohtani Named NL Pitcher of the Month; To Start Against Astros

Shohei Ohtani earned his first career NL Pitcher of the Month honor for March and April after allowing only four runs across his starts. While he remains a dual-threat force, Ohtani will not be in the lineup as a hitter Tuesday. Instead, he is scheduled to serve as the starting pitcher against the Houston Astros. Ohtani last hit a home run on April 26 and continues to be a focal point for the Dodgers as both a pitcher and designated hitter.
