As Ohtani eases back into pitching, Casparius has become his partner, logging innings in a “bulk” role following Ohtani’s brief starts. They’ll do so again Saturday in Kansas City.

Shohei Ohtani and Enrique Hernandez made Los Angeles Dodgers history by hitting 10 home runs and pitching at least 2 games in the same season.

Shohei Ohtani will make his long-awaited return to Kauffman Stadium this weekend. And there is a strong chance he could pitch as well. The Los Angeles Dodgers roll into town on Friday. They will begin a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals to conclude a weeklong homestand. It will be the Dodgers’ first trip to The K since 2023.
