Ohtani`s paternity leave impacts the Dodgers` roster, with Eddie Rosario stepping in during his absence.

Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Dodgers star and reigning National League MVP, is currently on the paternity list as he welcomes the birth of his first child. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani is away from the team, missing the recent series against the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas, as he stays in Los Angeles with his wife, Mamiko Tanaka.

To fill Ohtani`s spot on the roster, veteran outfielder Eddie Rosario has been called up from Triple-A. Ohtani can remain on the paternity list for up to three days, which could keep him out until the Dodgers` next series against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. However, there is a chance he might rejoin the team during the Rangers series.

In a roster move to accommodate Rosario, reliever Edgardo Henriquez was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Ohtani`s absence is significant as he has played in 20 games this season, boasting a batting average of .288 and leading Major League Baseball with 6 home runs. The Dodgers continue their road trip without their star player, and while specific attendance figures or match scores were not provided, Ohtani`s personal leave is a notable development for the team.
