Shohei Ohtani Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani will start on the mound in Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday at the Rogers Centre against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays, the team announced. Ohtani will be pitching on short rest in the winner-take-all game. The Japanese superstar started the Game 4 loss in Los Angeles, going six innings and giving up four earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out six. In Ohtani's first three career postseason starts this year as a starting pitcher, he's allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits (one homer) while walking five and fanning 25 in 18 innings pitched. He's gone exactly six innings in each of his three starts versus the Phillies, Brewers, and Blue Jays, although he's likely to come short of that on Saturday on Saturday as the Dodgers look to piece things together as they go for back-to-back World Series championships.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani would start a potential Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies if the series goes that long, according to manager Dave Roberts. Ohtani pitching in relief for the rest of this series is "not on our radar," Roberts added. Despite allowing three earned runs in his start in Game 1 on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park, Ohtani managed to pick up the win after the Dodgers made a comeback. The 31-year-old All-Star struck out nine hitters and walked only one in six innings of work in what was his first career postseason start as a pitcher. Ohtani can do it all on the baseball diamond, but he went hitless in four at-bats with four strikeouts at the plate in Game 1. If the NLDS against the Phillies is wrapped up before a deciding Game 5, Ohtani would be in play to start Game of the NL Championship Series against either the Milwaukee Brewers or Chicago Cubs.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will take the mound for Game 1 of his team's NLDS series against the Phillies on Saturday. Ohtani would have been the starter for Game 3 of the wild-card series against the Reds, but the Dodgers made that game unnecessary by winning Game 2 by the score of 8-4 on Wednesday night. Ohtani pitched in 14 games this season, posting a 2.87 ERA and 2.45 FIP over his 47 innings. He stacked up 62 strikeouts while allowing just a .223 batting average against him. He faced the Phillies in one of his starts and threw five no-hit innings with five strikeouts. He worked up to six innings in his most recent appearance, so he should be able to go as deep as the Dodgers' need him to on Saturday, as he goes head-to-head with Cristopher Sanchez in what should be an awesome Game 1.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani ended his regular season with a flourish on Sunday, swatting a career-high 55th home run in a 6-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. Ohtani's homer, a 412-foot, seventh-inning solo shot off left-hander Gabe Speier, broke the single-season franchise record of 54 HRs he set last year. He also chipped in a single and a double to finish the day 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored. Likely to collect the fourth MVP award of his remarkable career this year, Ohtani finished the regular season hitting .282/.392/.622 with a major league-best 146 runs, 102 RBI, and 20 stolen bases in 727 plate appearances. Not to be forgotten, he also pitched to a 2.87 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP, 62 strikeouts, and nine walks over 47 innings. The future Hall of Famer and the defending World Series champion Dodgers will open a wild-card round series against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani continued his power surge during Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Ohtani went 1-for-3 at the plate which included two walks and his 53rd home run of the season. His 141 runs scored is now the fifth highest total since 2000. Ohtani is also only one homer shy from matching his career high from last year. It's going to be tough for anyone to wrestle away the National League MVP from Ohtani.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Shohei Ohtani will not pitch in the team's series against the San Francisco Giants this weekend. Ohtani had been penciled in to start on Friday, but he won't take the mound again until next week in a series against the Philadelphia Phillies, per Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. The Dodgers are continuing to ease the two-way superstar back in as a pitcher in his return from September 2023 Tommy John surgery. Ohtani has made 12 starts (none more than five innings) and gone 1-1 with a 3.75 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and 49:8 K:BB over 36 frames this season. With Ohtani's next outing pushing back, the Dodgers will roll with Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Friday), Clayton Kershaw (Saturday), and Tyler Glasnow (Sunday) as their starters versus the Giants.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (illness) will make his return to the mound for Friday's series opener in Baltimore against the Orioles at Camden Yards after the Dodgers scratched previously scheduled starter Tyler Glasnow for undisclosed reasons. Ohtani was scratched from his previously scheduled start this week in Pittsburgh because he was feeling under the weather. The Dodgers announced on Thursday that the 31-year-old three-time MVP would make his next start on Monday against the Colorado Rockies, but he'll now be moved up with Glasnow out. Ohtani will also serve as the designated hitter in his usual leadoff spot on Friday. Even though the O's are coming off a sweep of the Padres, Ohtani should be started in his return to the bump. He went a season-high five innings his last time out against the Reds and had a season-high nine strikeouts.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (illness) is scheduled to make his next start against the Colorado Rockies on Monday, according to manager Dave Roberts. Ohtani was scratched from his scheduled start versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday due to illness. It's worth noting that Ohtani has still been serving as the designated hitter, which he'll continue to do on Thursday. Ohtani hasn't been great on the mound with a 4.18 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 44/7 K/BB ratio across 11 starts. Despite that, Ohtani still should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats. It's unclear if the Dodgers will stick with a six-man rotation or have Emmet Sheehan move to the bullpen.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Ohtani is feeling under the weather, according to Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts. The organization is hopeful that Ohtani will feel good enough to take the mound this weekend. Despite not pitching, Ohtani will still function as the designated hitter and bat leadoff during Wednesday's contest. It sounds like the Dodgers are going to take this day-by-day. That being said, fantasy managers will need to check back later in the week to see when Ohtani will take the mound again. Emmet Sheehan will take the mound versus the Pirates on Wednesday. The right-hander will offer low-end streaming appeal for this one.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani was scheduled to start in Wednesday's game on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but he's no longer on the bump and will be replaced by right-hander Emmet Sheehan, according to Kirsten Watson. Ohtani will still serve as the designated hitter and will bat leadoff against right-hander Braxton Ashcraft. It's unclear why the Dodgers are moving away from the Japanese All-Star as the starting pitcher on Wednesday, but he's obviously healthy enough to hit. We should get a better update from manager Dave Roberts, but for now, fantasy managers won't have Ohtani as a pitcher for their lineups on Wednesday. Sheehan is 5-2 on the year with a 3.56 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 54 strikeouts in 48 innings over his 10 outings (eight starts) and makes for a decent streamer in a plus matchup.
