Clubs homer in victory
Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in a 2-1 win against Minnesota on Monday.
Analyse
Ohtani gave Los Angeles an early jolt, belting a 414-foot homer to right field to lead off the game. That was his only hit, but the Twins helped emphasize how much the slugger is feared when they walked him intentionally with two outs and a runner on first base in the ninth inning. Ohtani had a slow start to the season in the power department, going deep an uncharacteristic eight times over his first 50 games, but he's picked up the pace since. Over his past 21 contests, the two-way superstar has nine homers along with 15 RBI. His offensive numbers are still below his usual lofty standards, but Ohtani nonetheless ranks fourth among qualified hitters with a .976 OPS.

Belts late homer in loss
Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Orioles.
Analyse
Ohtani got the Dodgers on the board with a homer off Andrew Kittredge in the ninth inning. While the team's comeback fell short, it's good to see Ohtani back in action after he briefly stepped away from the team to welcome his second child Friday. He got a bit of a jump start on the dad strength -- he's homered five times over his last eight games. The two-way superstar is batting .295 on the year with a .968 OPS, 16 homers, 43 RBI, 52 runs scored, six stolen bases, 15 doubles and two triples over 73 contests.

Back in lineup
Ohtani (paternity) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat leadoff Saturday against the Orioles, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Analyse
After missing Friday's game for the birth of his second child, Ohtani will rejoin the team Saturday and reclaim his spot as the Dodgers' leadoff man. He's tallied just two hits across his last five games but still boasts a .360/.484/.760 slash line in 62 plate appearances since the beginning of June.

Away on paternity leave
Ohtani is currently away from the Dodgers on paternity leave, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Analyse
The Dodgers haven't made a roster move to place Ohtani on the paternity list, as he's expected to rejoin the team at some point this weekend, but he will be absent from the starting lineup for a day or two nonetheless while he welcomes a new addition to his family. Ryan Ward will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and bat seventh Friday.

Battles for seventh win
Ohtani (7-2) earned the win against the Rays on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings.
Analyse
Ohtani allowed a season-high four earned runs, all of which came across in the fifth inning, but still managed a winning effort despite pitching through left knee inflammation. It ends a streak of three straight quality starts for the two-way superstar, though he has still completed at least six frames in 11 of 12 outings this season. He'll carry a microscopic 1.47 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 78:22 K:BB across 73.2 innings into a road matchup against the Twins next week.

Knee inflammation still lingering
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Ohtani's left knee inflammation is not behind him and will need to be managed moving forward, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Analyse
Ohtani initially hurt his knee last week and missed one game. He's started at designated hitter for the past four contests and is starting on the mound Wednesday but will not be used on offense. The knee issue does not appear to be a long-term concern for Ohtani, but he could receive extra days off for a bit.

Won't hit Wednesday
Manager Dave Roberts said that Ohtani will work only as a pitcher Wednesday against the Rays, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
After supplying the Dodgers' lone run via a solo homer in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Tampa Bay, Ohtani will get a break from his duties as a DH and work solely as Los Angeles' starting pitcher Wednesday. The two-way star gave up a season-high four runs (three earned) during his most recent start against Pittsburgh but still owns an incredible 1.06 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through 67.2 innings on the year.
