The Dodgers announced the two-way star will take the mound Monday, June 16 against the San Diego Padres. The announcement came shortly after Roberts told reporters there was a "high possibility" of him pitching during the four-game series against the division rival, adding it would occur in an opener role for a bullpen game.
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani made MLB history in Saturday's win over the San Francisco Giants, as he reached 25+ home runs, 10+ stolen bases, and 5+ triples before July for the second time in his career.
Interestingly, the home runs come after the longest home run drought for Ohtani with the Dodgers. He had gone 10 games without a long ball. The last time that happened for him came in 2023 with the Angels .
