Shohei Ohtani Takes Expanded Two-Way Role for Dodgers

With Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow sidelined, the Dodgers are tasking Shohei Ohtani with regular turns in the starting rotation. The team plans to utilize him in a two-way capacity, hitting and pitching to stabilize the staff. Ohtani, who was named the NL pitcher of the month for March/April, is also a primary candidate for the upcoming All-Star Game.
