The Dodgers are going to select outfielder Eddie Rosario to their roster. He will take the active roster spot of designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, who is going on the paternity list. Right-hander Edgardo Henriquez will go on the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot for Rosario.

The only true area of regression so far for Shohei Ohtani has been in one statistical category; where a glaring drop in production has signaled an early-season problem for the Dodgers.

The bottom of the order is giving Ohtani few chances to hit with runners in scoring position, but Dave Roberts wants to keep Mookie Betts hitting between left-handed hitters Ohtani and Freeman.
