Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers), who has protected his wife's birth, will return to the team immediately. With his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, giving birth to a daughter on Tuesday (Korea time), Ohtani is expected to play in an away game against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. He could have participated in the next away series with the Chicago Cubs from Sunday, but has decided to minimize the period of absence.
Ohtani reported on his Instagram on Tuesday that his wife gave birth to his daughter. "Thank you to my wife for giving birth to a healthy, pretty daughter. Dear daughter, thank you for making us parents who are making us feel anxious and nervous," Ohtani wrote on Instagram under the title "Welcome to Otani's Family!"
He added, "Thank you to the Dodgers. We were encouraged by the constant support and encouragement of our teammates and fans. We sincerely thank all the medical staff who helped us until today's wonderful day and everyone who has been generous with their support."
Media also paid attention to the news of the world star's birth to her daughter. "Ohtani's family has a new family," said MLB.com reporter Sonya Chen, who announced on Instagram on Tuesday that her wife, Tanaka, gave birth to her daughter as her first child. The post contains a photo of her newborn daughter's feet and a dog, Decoy, the report said.
The Associated Press, a world-renowned news agency, said, "It's a daughter! The Dodgers' pitching star has become a father."
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced the timing of Ohtani's return, saying, "I don't know when I'll arrive, but I'm going to start the lineup tomorrow (21st)."

Roberts said in an interview during the game, "That's good news. A daughter was born to Shohei and Mamiko. Dodgers fans around the world are happy even though they don't know the name yet. Congratulations, Shohei."
Meanwhile, when Ohtani was absent, the Dodgers suffered a 3-4 walk-off loss to the Texas Rangers. Rocky Sasaki took the mound as the starting pitcher and displayed his best pitching ever since his Major League debut, but the game faded. Sasaki had two hits (one homer) and three walks, four strikeouts and two runs in six innings. He pitched in six innings for the first time since his big league debut. The ERA was lowered to 3.20.
The Dodgers was leading 3-2 until the top of the ninth inning. However, when Kirby Yates gave up a double to Josh Smith, the Dodgers faced a crisis. To make matters worse, it allowed Adolis Garcia to hit a finishing homer over the left-center fence with no outs and runners on the second base. Dodgers, which failed to secure victory, ended up with 15 wins and seven losses. Dodgers is 1.0 game behind San Diego Padres, which ranks first in the National League West with 15 wins and five losses through Sunday.
