The Phillies' Kyle Schwarber will lead off for the NL in the All-Star Game as the replacement for Shohei Ohtani, while Riley Greene, Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger will start for the AL.
Shohei Ohtani will be in the Dodgers' lineup when he makes his pitching start Friday, and catching him will be Dalton Rushing.
Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani will skip his scheduled pitching start Wednesday against the Athletics to get some extra rest, manager Dave Roberts said.
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani got the win on the mound after overcoming a rough second inning in which he and Dalton Rushing got crossed up on a pitch that got past the catcher's glove, allowing a run to score.
Shohei Ohtani announced on social media that he is a father again, and hours later, he hit a homer in the Dodgers' 3-2 loss to the Orioles.
Shohei Ohtani wasn't in the Dodgers' lineup Friday night because he is "away from the team on paternity."
