The Los Angeles Dodgers optioned an outfielder on Thursday, hinting at a surprise move incoming. The 26-year-old is known for his speed, but wasn’t quite up to standards at the plate, making room for another outfielder to potentially make his MLB debut.

Additionally, rookie phenom Roki Sasaki is eager to make a return to the mound and has been working on a significant change during his time away. The right-hander last pitched on May 9 as he gets closer to a rehab assignment with an MLB return to follow.

Finally, superstar Shohei Ohtani accomplished an incredible feat that hasn’t been done since the RBI became an officially counted stat in 1920. Ohtani’s pitching and hitting talents are virtually unheard of in this century as the three-time MVP continues to rewrite the record books.

I attended the Dodgers All-Access Japanese Baseball event and it was incredible ?

The new Dodger Stadium tour focused on the history of Japanese Dodgers stars, everyone got a Japanese Heritage Night jersey and other gifts and the food was so good.

Wow! Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s dog helped stop the attempted burglary on his LA home last week ?

Japanese friends, does anyone know the name of this dog? I think Mikan is too young to be the one that helped ?
