Dodgers manager Dave Roberts dismissed concerns about Shohei Ohtani’s hitting on pitching days after a 6-4 loss to the Astros.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shared an update after two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani returned to the mound on his 31st birthday. Ohtani delivered two scoreless innings against the Astros in Game 2. It was his fourth career start this season since coming off Tommy John surgery full-time in 2023.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' pitching woes might test the team's plans for two-way star Shohei Ohtani. On Monday, recently named All-Star pitcher Yoshinobo Yamamoto was knocked out of his road start against the Milwaukee Brewers before the end of the first inning in a 9-1 loss.
