Shohei Ohtani is moving ever closer to his first pitching appearance for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday there’s now a chance his fans might not even have to wait until the All-Star break.

Months after the betting scandal involving Shohei Ohtani's interpreter, one former player is speaking out and believes the superstar was the one betting.

Dave Roberts gifted a toy remote-controlled Porsche to Shohei's Ohtani's 2-month-old daughter. The Dodgers star wondered why he was summoned to the manager's office.
