Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Hitting and pitching Wednesday
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Monday that Ohtani will serve as the designated hitter when he starts on the mound Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
There have been some starts this season in which Ohtani has focused solely on pitching while taking a break from the batter's box, but that won't be the case Wednesday against Arizona. Ohtani has earned the win in each of his last three outings and came away with the quality start in this past Wednesday's appearance against the Rockies. At the dish, he has reached base safely in each of his last 16 games, going 24-for-61 (.393) with one steal, four home runs and 15 RBI in that span.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Homers in three-hit game
Ohtani went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.
Ohtani's surge from the middle of the month has cooled a bit, but he still has three homers among nine hits over his last eight games as a hitter. All three of those long balls have been solo shots. He's up to 10 homers, 31 RBI, 37 runs scored and six stolen bases while batting .279 with a .909 OPS across 244 plate appearances. It's taken a little longer than usual, but Ohtani's rate stats are trending up into his typical range after a slow start to the year at the dish.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Spins six no-hit innings in win
Ohtani (5-2) allowed one run on zero hits, four walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Rockies. He also went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the 4-1 victory.
Ohtani was actually a little shaky with his command, throwing just 56 of 99 pitches for strikes. The Rockies were able to take advantage for one run in the fourth inning but ultimately didn't get a hit off the two-way superstar. Ohtani may have been bothered a bit by the hit-by-pitch he suffered Tuesday, though it wasn't enough to cause him to be scratched from the lineup or his start. On the mound this season, he continues an elite campaign that has seen him pitch to a 0.82 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 61:17 K:BB over 55 innings through nine starts, including just three runs allowed on 11 hits, eight walks and two hit batsmen over 25 innings in May. He's also 18-for-47 (.383) with three homers and 14 RBI over his last 13 contests, and he's up to a .269/.400/.482 slash line with nine homers, 30 RBI, 36 runs scored and six stolen bases over 55 games. Ohtani's next pitching start is projected to be at Arizona.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Will hit Wednesday
Ohtani is in the lineup at DH for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Ohtani was uncertain to work as both a pitcher and hitter leading up to Wednesday's contest, especially after he got hit on the hand by a pitch Tuesday, but manager Dave Roberts confirmed before the game that the 31-year-old superstar would get a chance to show off his two-way skills. With a .270/.403/.471 slash line through 236 plate appearances, Ohtani has had a down year offensively by his standards, but he's made up for it on the mound by posting a ridiculous 0.73 ERA and 0.84 WHIP alongside a 54:13 K:BB through 49 innings.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Will pitch, iffy to hit Wednesday
Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani is on track make a start as a pitcher Wednesday against the Rockies at Dodger Stadium, but the Dodgers haven't decided if Ohtani will hit during the game, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
While serving as the Dodgers' designated hitter in Tuesday's 15-6 win, Ohtani went 0-for-2 with a hit-by-pitch and a run scored. After being struck on his right (pitching) hand during his plate appearance in the bottom of the fourth, Ohtani took his base but was removed from the contest the next time his turn in the batting order came up in the fifth. The Dodgers already held a nine-run lead at that point, and Roberts said afterward that Ohtani was merely removed as a precaution. Even so, while Ohtani shouldn't face any limitations with his workload as a pitcher, the Dodgers could still look to give him a break from hitting Wednesday. Ohtani has been included in the lineup for four of his first eight starts as a pitcher this season.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Flashes two-way skills in win
Ohtani (4-2) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Padres on Wednesday. He also went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored on offense.
Ohtani gave himself all the run support he needed by homering off Randy Vasquez's first pitch of the game. On the mound, it wasn't Ohtani's best work, but it was still excellent. He threw 53 of 88 pitches for strikes, though he had to navigate some tricky at-bats that ran the pitch count up early. This was his fourth scoreless outing in eight starts as a pitcher. He's worked to a 0.73 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 54:13 K:BB through 49 innings this season. At the plate, Ohtani has hit safely in seven straight games, going 13-for-27 (.481) with seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI in that span, which suggests he's worked his way out of his slump from earlier in May. He's up to a .272/.399/.486 slash line, eight homers, 26 RBI, 33 runs scored, six stolen bases, 11 doubles and a triple over 214 plate appearances.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Expects to bat on start day
Manager Dave Roberts stated that his plan is for Ohtani to start Wednesday's game against the Padres on the mound and hit, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Ohtani has been given the day off from batting in his last few opportunities as the starting pitcher in an effort to give him some extra rest early on in the 2026 campaign. However, it seems Roberts is comfortable with slotting Ohtani into the batting order Wednesday, especially with a day off looming Thursday. The star two-way player has been locked in at the dish lately, going 8-for-17 with one home run, eight RBI, one stolen base and five runs scored over his last four games.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Trio of hits in win
Ohtani went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Angels.
Ohtani capped off an incredibly productive weekend against his former club with a trio of singles, including a two-run knock to start the scoring in the Dodgers' five-run fourth inning. After posting an OPS north of 1.000 in each of the previous three seasons, the two-way superstar hasn't gotten off to an otherworldly start at the plate in 2026, though he has still been plenty effective. Through 201 plate appearances, Ohtani is slashing .258/.385/.454 with seven homers, nine doubles, a triple, 24 RBI, 30 runs and six stolen bases.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Drives in five
Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, two walks, five RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-2 win over the Angels.
Ohtani was held hitless until the eighth inning, when he laced a two-run triple. He added a three-run double in the ninth as the Dodgers ran away with the win. After taking Wednesday and Thursday off from batting amid a slump, Ohtani has gone 3-for-8 with three extra-base hits and three walks over two games against the Angels in this weekend series. Overall, the two-way superstar is batting .247 with an .828 OPS, seven home runs, six steals, 22 RBI, 29 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple over 45 contests as a hitter this season. He has hit safely in six of his last eight games after a five-game slump from April 29 to May 4.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Idle as expected Thursday
Ohtani is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Giants, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
As expected, Ohtani is going a second consecutive game with the bat out of his hands after working exclusively as a pitcher in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Giants. The two-way superstar has not hit up to his standards so far into 2026 with a .797 OPS through 184 plate appearances, and a couple days off could help him to reset at the plate.
