The 26-year-old is known for his speed, but wasn\u2019t quite up to standards at the plate, making room for another outfielder to potentially make his MLB debut.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, rookie phenom Roki Sasaki is eager to make a return to the mound and has been working on a significant change during his time away. The right-hander last pitched on May 9 as he gets closer to a rehab assignment with an MLB return to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, superstar Shohei Ohtani accomplished an incredible feat that hasn\u2019t been done since the RBI became an officially counted stat in 1920. Ohtani\u2019s pitching and hitting talents are virtually unheard of in this century as the three-time MVP continues to rewrite the record books.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers optioned an outfielder, Roki Sasaki made a change, and Shohei Ohtani made some insane history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":75342,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
