WWW.KSAT.COMDodgers give Shohei Ohtani a DH break for 2 days amid his offensive slumpShohei Ohtani is getting a break from the batter's box for two days.The struggling Los Angeles Dodgers superstar hit just his second home run in his last 24 games an opposite field solo shot to left-center in a 6-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. It ended an 11-game homerless streak, which tied his longest as a Dodger.Ohtani looked skyward as he crossed the plate.Relief, he smiled, he laughed, manager Dave Roberts said. He's going to feel good about the offensive side tonight to then refocus for tomorrow to pitch and now he's got something to build on come Friday.Ohtani finished the game going 2 for 4 with two runs, an RBI and a walk. The rest of the team was 2 for 25 with four walks. He has seven home runs on the season and is batting .240.I thought tonight was a really good night, Roberts said. He can hopefully take that momentum from tonight and then be building on that through Anaheim and San Diego.Roberts said after the game that Ohtani won't be in the lineup as the designated hitter Wednesday when he also starts against the Giants. Earlier, Roberts said he was giving Ohtani a day from hitting Thursday, although he would be available late if the outcome hangs in the balance. It might just be a good thing to take a little bit of a load off of his plate offensively, Roberts said before the game. I just cant take for granted whats on his plate and so Im trying to be sensitive.As Ohtani goes, so have the Dodgers (24-18). They remained a half-game behind NL West-leading San Diego despite their fourth loss in a row. Andy Pages (.318 average) and Max Muncy (.272) have been LA's best hitters so far, while the rest of the lineup is struggling, including Freddie Freeman (.276) and Kyle Tucker (.253).When your best player is doing what he's capable of doing, it just adds that energy into the dugout, frees guys up a little bit to do something too, Roberts said. When he's doing well, he's slugging, so those are runs.Ohtani is in his first full season as a two-way player for the Dodgers. Coming off two major right elbow surgeries, he was limited to the DH role in 2024, when he created the 50/50 club, with 54 home runs and 59 stolen bases, was named NL MVP and the Dodgers won the World Series.Last year, Ohtani didn't return to the mound until midseason. He wasn't built up to pitching six innings until September and offensively, he hit 55 home runs and had 20 stolen bases. He repeated as NL MVP and the Dodgers won the World Series again.This season, he has had no innings restrictions on the mound, where he's been dominant. The right-hander is 2-2 with a 0.97 ERA to go with 42 strikeouts and 37 innings pitched over six starts. He's allowed just four earned runs and 21 hits.He's still calibrating on this kind of newfound two-way player, Roberts said. Roberts has said Ohtani is willing to do whatever the team needs, but at the same time, the manager knows the team's most valuable asset needs to be protected from himself.Hes always going to want to do more, Roberts said. He has that sense of responsibility to his teammates that he wants to be out there on both ways. I've learned that I have to be proactive and take it out of his hands.Roberts has seen enough to decide that taking the bat out of Ohtani's hands might help him reset.When the quality of at-bats starts to go down consistently, I think thats a sign that there needs to be a break because youre just not able to stay within your game plan and then the chase starts to spike, he said. The fatigue is bleeding into the mechanics. Most players get that towards the end of the summer. Now I'm learning managing Shohei its probably showing itself a little earlier as far as the tax on pitching and all that comes with it to the hitting, too.Ohtani isn't used to not hitting; he's had just three games so far this season in which he wasn't the DH. Roberts suggested he show up late on Thursday.The Dodgers knew in spring training that having Ohtani return to being a full-time two-way player for the first time since 2023 with the Los Angeles Angels would be challenging.It definitely feels sustainable, Roberts said. I wouldnt say its more difficult. I think that we all came in knowing that we had to read and react, it was going to be fluid. It should be. Its very unique.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB0 Commenti 0 condivisioni 52 Views 0 Anteprima -

WWW.GBNEWS.COMMiddlesbrough boss fights back tears as he blasts 'disgraceful' Southampton after play-off heartbreakKim Hellberg fought back tears in an extraordinary and deeply emotional press conference after Middlesbrough were knocked out of the Championship play-offs by Southampton.The Boro boss delivered a passionate 15-minute response in which he said Southampton's alleged conduct had "broken his heart" and branded the situation "disgraceful".His remarks came just days after the English Football League charged the Saints with misconduct following allegations that a member of staff attempted to observe Middlesbrough's training session at Rockliffe Park ahead of the two-legged semi-final.A disciplinary hearing is due to take place, with Middlesbrough seeking the strongest possible sporting sanctions.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayThe controversy overshadowed a dramatic second leg at St Mary's.Hellberg's side looked set to book their place at Wembley after Riley McGree struck early to hand the visitors the advantage.But Ross Stewart levelled for Southampton before Shea Charles scored a heartbreaking winner in the 118th minute of extra time to secure a 2-1 victory.While Southampton's players and supporters celebrated, Hellberg was left to reflect on what he believes was a serious breach of trust.SOUTHAMPTON TAKE THE LEAD DEEP INTO EXTRA-TIME!Shea Charles' cross evades everybody and the Saints have one foot in the play-off final! pic.twitter.com/H9w1DXeSjG Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) May 12, 2026 The Swede made clear he had no issue with Southampton's squad or fanbase, offering them his congratulations.However, when asked whether he would extend the same courtesy to Saints manager Tonda Eckert, Hellberg responded: "No comment."Pressed on whether he had spoken to his opposite number directly, he added: "No, I have nothing to say to him."As the press conference continued, Hellberg became visibly emotional while describing the impact the allegations had on him personally and professionally.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Rory McIlroy major injury concern after withdrawing from PGA Championship practice roundHalf-Indian footballer seeking 12million in damages after former coach called him 'curry muncher'British Olympics icon retires for new career after heartbreaking personal tragedy"I worked 15 years as a coach to try to get to the Premier League," he said."That's my dream."Hellberg explained that clubs such as Middlesbrough must search for every possible tactical edge when competing against opponents with greater financial resources and larger squads.He said that countless hours are spent studying matches, often at the expense of time with family, in order to give players the best possible chance of success."When that is taken away from you, I think it is no longer fair," he said.The 38-year-old stressed that his concern was not necessarily about what information may or may not have been obtained.Instead, he said the principle itself struck at the heart of everything he believes football should represent."It breaks my heart in terms of all those things I believed in," he said."I think that is disgraceful to a colleague who you work against. It makes me very sad."Hellberg also referred to CCTV footage he said he had seen, claiming it showed the individual changing clothes during the visit to Rockliffe Park.Those allegations have not yet been tested at the forthcoming EFL hearing.Middlesbrough are waiting to learn whether any sanctions will follow, with Hellberg saying only: "We will see what happens."For now, the immediate pain of missing out on promotion remains raw.Southampton will face Hull for a place in the Premier League at Wembley on May 23.
