Shohei Ohtani will NOT pitch in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game… but there’s a very good reason why.
On this week’s This Week in Shohei Ohtani News, I break down why the Dodgers pushed Ohtani’s schedule back, why it means he won’t take the mound in Philadelphia, and why I actually think it was the right decision.
We’ll also cover:
– The real reason behind the schedule change
– Ohtani’s latest week at the plate
– His comments about returning home to his growing family
– Dave Roberts becoming the fastest manager ever to reach 1,000 wins
– And everything else you need to know from another week of Shohei Ohtani news.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to subscribe for a new episode of This Week in Shohei Ohtani News every week!
