Shohei Ohtani (DH - LAD)
5/13/26 3:57 AM - Dodgers give Shohei Ohtani a DH break for 2 days amid his offensive slump. Shohei Ohtani is getting a break from batting for two days. The Los Angeles Dodgers star homered for just the second time in his last 24 games in a 6-2 to the San Francisco Giants. It ended an 11-game homerless streak, which tied his longest as a Dodger. Manager Dave Roberts says Ohtani won't be in the lineup as the designated hitter on Wednesday, when he pitches, and also Thursday. Ohtani went 2 for 4 with two runs scored, an RBI and a walk. The rest of the Dodgers were 2 for 25 with four walks. Ohtani is in his first full season as a two-way player for the Dodgers.

Please, blog, may I have some more?
