Shohei Ohtani Makes a Comeback to Dodgers After Welcoming Baby

Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is back in action for the Dodgers this Sunday, just a day after celebrating the birth of his first child with his wife. Talk about a whirlwind weekend!

This season, Ohtani has been making waves, playing in 20 games and boasting an impressive slash line of .288/.380/.550, with six home runs and eight RBIs, according to the team. His return is highly anticipated as he was recently reinstated from the paternity list, which he was placed on Friday.

Ohtani will be joining designated outfielder Eddie Rosario, who is also back for the series finale against the Texas Rangers. The excitement is palpable as fans look forward to seeing both players contribute to the team's success.

At 30 years old, Ohtani missed the first two games of the series, which the Dodgers split, mirroring the performance of the last two World Series champions. He first announced the baby news back in December, and now he’s ready to balance fatherhood with his baseball career.

With Ohtani back in the lineup, the Dodgers are looking to capitalize on his talent and energy as they push through the season.
