Dodgers Manager Reveals Shohei Ohtani's Next Two Games

Ohtani will be playing in an interesting matchup this coming week.

Shohei Ohtani's debut with the Dodgers went better than most could have expected, with the two-way superstar blasting a home run in his first game. It brought even more excitement to have him in Los Angeles, and fans have been clinging to the edge of their seats each time he plays. 

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed the next two games that Ohtani will be playing in. He will take at-bats against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday and face his former team, the Angels, on Tuesday.

The game against the Angels on Tuesday will bring even more excitement than normal, as it will be the first time he faces his former squad. Ohtani spent six seasons with the Halos, so it will likely be weird for him to play against them.

However, it will be another chance for him to ready himself for the start of the year. Ohtani is a true professional, and he is currently working toward his goal of getting 50 at-bats before the start of the year. 

Playing against the Angels will be another game for him, especially considering it's within Spring Training. He is more concerned with not allowing any distractions to creep in, so Ohtani will just go about his business as usual.
