Shohei Ohtani always says "hello," according to MLB umpires, at least, that's what Buster Olney reported during ESPN's broadcast of the Los Angeles Dodgers-New York Yankees game on Sunday night. Olney briefly joined the broadcast during the bottom of the fifth inning and informed fans that Ohtani makes it a habit of saying hello to the home plate umpire whenever he comes to bat during a game.

Ryan Yarbrough limited baseball’s best offense to four hits over six innings, Ben Rice hit a tiebreaking two-run homer and the New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 on Sunday to avoid getting swept for the first time this season.

Dodgers top prospect Dalton Rushing took an at-bat against Shohei Ohtani and went down on strikes. This week, he was behind the plate, where the young backstop was able to appreciate just how special it is to see Ohtani in competition mode on the mound.

Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani threw another bullpen session on Saturday, hours before Los Angeles hosted the New York Yankees for the second game of their weekend series, as he continues to work his way toward his first big-league pitching appearance since late 2023.

The two-way superstar faced hitters for the second time since elbow surgery, throwing 29 pitches at Dodger Stadium in a 25-minute session before the defending World Series champions played the New York Yankees. Ohtani threw 22 pitches in his first live batting practice last weekend in New York.
