Dodgers to Use Shohei Ohtani on the Mound for Game 7 as Blue Jays Start Max Scherzer

The Ohtani Rule pushes Los Angeles toward opening with Ohtani to keep his bat in the designated hitter spot.

Overview

  • Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Ohtani will pitch in the winner-take-all finale, with his role and length still to be determined.
  • Most reporting indicates Ohtani is expected to open the game on three days’ rest after a 93-pitch Game 4 outing.
  • Toronto manager John Schneider said Max Scherzer will start Game 7 for the Blue Jays.
  • Tyler Glasnow closed Game 6 on three pitches and said he will be available for Saturday’s game.
  • Roberts said Yoshinobu Yamamoto will not pitch, and the Dodgers are treating the matchup at Toronto’s Rogers Centre as an all-hands effort.
