Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers is currently on paternity leave, with his wife Mamiko expecting their first child. This leave coincides with the start of a three-game series against the Texas Rangers. Ohtani's absence from the team has led to outfielder Eddie Rosario stepping in on the active roster. Ohtani expressed his excitement for fatherhood in an earlier Instagram post, and there is a possibility he may return to the team before the series concludes this weekend.
Outfielder Eddie Rosario, who was spotted at Globe Life Field on Friday, is replacing Ohtani on the active roster for the time being.
Ohtani announced in late December that he and his wife were expecting their first child. "Can't wait for the little rookie to join our family soon!" the Instagram caption said.
