UNLEASHED: Shohei Ohtani HEATING UP | Will Smith injury OPENS DOOR for Dalton Rushing

The Los Angeles Dodgers ignite their offense as Shohei Ohtani’s explosive three-hit game signals danger for the rest of Major League Baseball.

With Ohtani finally looking like himself—driving balls to all fields and nearly hitting for the cycle—questions arise about whether his slump is officially over. Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers debate the ripple effect on the Dodgers’ lineup, including the revived performances of Freddie Freeman and Kyle Tucker. Can this lineup depth carry the team through the grueling 13-game stretch?

The Dodgers’ pitching rotation shines as Justin Wrobleski delivers another crafty win, while Roki Sasaki shows promising progress despite allowing three homers. Meanwhile, a developing catcher situation sees Dalton Rushing forcing the coaching staff’s hand with his hot bat during Will Smith’s absence. Should Rushing earn more starts even after Smith returns? All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers!
