Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani has been named the starting designated hitter for the National League in the upcoming All-Star Game after being the leading vote-getter. Although Ohtani is known for being a two-way player, Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts confirmed he will only play as a hitter, not as a pitcher. The team is cautious with Ohtani's pitching recovery, limiting his starts and focusing on a careful return to the mound, as he continues to adapt after previous injuries.
Ohtani has made two starts for the Dodgers this season, both lasting just one inning, and he won't pitch in the All-Star Game.
Dave Roberts stated, 'I think we're always gonna be cautious...I don't even know what that's going to look like, to be 'fully built-up'.
