LA Dodgers Superstar Shohei Ohtani Misses Baltimore Game Ahead of Second Child's Birth

Major League Baseball (MLB) superstar Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers is set to become a father of two.
MLB.com reported on June 20 (KST) that Ohtani will miss the home game against the Baltimore Orioles, held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
The absence is to await the birth of his second child. The Dodgers organization has not placed Ohtani on the paternity leave list, which would allow for a 1 to 3-day absence.
Ohtani is expected to rejoin the team immediately after the birth of his second child.
Having welcomed his first daughter in April of last year, Ohtani will become a father of two just before his 32nd birthday next month.
Ohtani, who plays as a two-way player, continues his pursuit of the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award this year, recording 7 wins and 2 losses with a 1.47 ERA as a pitcher, and a .296 batting average, 15 home runs, and 42 RBIs as a hitter.
