Shohei Ohtani is away from the Los Angeles Dodgers for the birth of his first child. Manager Dave Roberts says Ohtani is with his wife and on MLB's paternity list.

The Dodgers embrace the belief shared widely throughout MLB that there is 'dad strength,' a gift new father Shohei Ohtani is expected to enjoy.

Two-way star Shohei Ohtani, fresh off becoming a father, is in the lineup Sunday for the Dodgers’ series finale against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. Los Angeles reinstated its designated hitter Sunday morning from the paternity list and designated outfielder Eddie Rosario for assignment. Ohtani will hit leadoff against Texas.
