The Dodgers announced the two-way star will take the mound Monday, June 16 against the San Diego Padres. The announcement came shortly after Roberts told reporters there was a "high possibility" that Ohtani pitched during the four-game series against the division rival, adding he would appear in an opener role for a bullpen game.

Shohei Ohtani will start on the mound for the first time since 2023 when he was still with the Angels. Follow his outing here.
