Shohei Ohtani is away from the Los Angeles Dodgers for the birth of his first child. Manager Dave Roberts says Ohtani is with his wife and on MLB’s paternity list. Roberts said before the Dodgers’ series opener in Texas on Friday night that he doesn’t know when Ohtani is going to rejoin the team or details about the pending birth. The 30-year-old posted on his Instagram account in late December that he and his 28-year-old wife were expecting a baby in 2025. The two-way superstar can miss up to three games while on paternity leave.
