In anticipation of the birth of his first child, Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani has commenced paternity leave.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto dominates over seven shutout innings and the Dodgers score a couple runs in the ninth to take a 3-0 win over the Texas Rangers.

“I don’t know when they’re going to have the baby,” Roberts said. “But obviously they are together in anticipation.”

Ohtani can stay on the paternity list for up to three days which means he would be back for the team’s series next week against the Cubs at Wrigley Field at the latest but Roberts said it’s possible he could rejoin the team later this weekend in Texas.

To make room on the 40-man roster for Rosario, the Dodgers transferred reliever Edgardo Henriquez to the 60-day injured list.
