Shohei Ohtani and Wife Welcome Second Child, Miss Game Against Baltimore Orioles

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko, have welcomed their second child, the player announced Saturday in an Instagram post. The news came a day after Ohtani was absent from the lineup against the Baltimore Orioles.

Ohtani, known as a two-way star for his pitching and hitting abilities, did not elaborate on the details of the birth in his post. The Dodgers had listed him as not in the starting lineup for Friday's game, with the team citing personal reasons for his absence.

This is the second child for the couple, who married in 2023. Ohtani has been a key player for the Dodgers this season, contributing significantly to the team's performance. The Dodgers have not yet commented on when Ohtani is expected to return to the lineup.
