Fans anticipating a showdown between Shohei Ohtani and the Texas Rangers this weekend will be disappointed as the two-way superstar has been placed on paternity leave. Ohtani will miss the Dodgers' series in Arlington due to the impending birth of his first child. His absence could significantly impact the Dodgers' lineup, as he has been a key contributor this season.

The Dodgers have called up veteran outfielder Eddie Rosario to fill in for Ohtani. This move raises questions about the team's depth and their ability to maintain offensive momentum without their star player. Meanwhile, the Rangers will look to capitalize on Ohtani's absence as they continue to vie for postseason positioning.
