Los Angeles Dodgers starter Shohei Ohtani will start Tuesday’s game, and LA has some lofty expectations for the reigning MVP.
Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts said he hopes Ohtani pitched six innings and reaching 80 pitches during his outing.
Additionally, Roberts said Ohtani wouldn’t go more than seven innings in his first start of the regular season, which comes against the Cleveland Guardians in a week. LA is aiming to figure out how to let Ohtani pitch as much as he possibly can without necessarily having him start every six days.
Ohtani has made just one start in 2026, pitching 4.
