Dave Roberts outlines Shohei Ohtani's All-Star break workload restrictions

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Shohei Ohtani will not pitch or participate in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break. Ohtani, the National League's leading vote-getter, is expected to take only a couple of at-bats in the All-Star Game. Roberts emphasized the importance of Ohtani's rest, given his significant role as a two-way player. This decision balances Ohtani's responsibilities to the league and the need for him to recover properly ahead of future games. Ohtani has excelled this season with a 1.79 ERA and 20 home runs, contributing to the Dodgers’ success.
