Shohei Ohtani expected to be activated on Wednesday

The Dodgers are preparing to get the final Infinity Stone added to their gauntlet, as two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani is expected to return from the injured list for Wednesday's game against San Diego . Whether Ohtani will remain in the leadoff spot in the starting lineup is still up in the air, as Mookie Betts has been swinging a red-hot bat at the leadoff spot in his absence, per Sonja Chen of MLB.com .

"I do think I should think through the Mookie vs. left situation, but I have to think about the entire lineup structure," Roberts said. "That's probably the way it's going to fall out, but I haven't totally decided yet."

Roki Sasaki made his first bullpen appearance since the 2025 World Series on Tuesday, as he logged a scoreless top of the fourth inning while allowing just one hit and striking out two.
