Roberts: Ohtani to pitch, possibly hit next start

In the series finale against the New York Mets, Ohtani will take the mound but will not appear in the lineup as a hitter. Kyle Tucker moves to leadoff, and Dalton Rushing starts at DH. Ohtani had a dominant performance with 10 strikeouts and only allowing one run in six innings.

Roberts indicated he's leaning toward having Ohtani both pitch and hit in his next outing Tuesday in Houston. The decision on whether Ohtani will handle both roles remains a season-long topic, with the organization seeking the most effective approach. asg-reflektory.pl
