Shohei Ohtani is already well-known as a pitcher and a slugger. The Dodgers superstar has recently taken on another role: children’s book author.

LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani will make his next start on the mound on Monday as the Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way superstar progresses toward longer outings after elbow surgery. He’ll open with three innings against the Minnesota Twins in his sixth start before giving way to Dustin May, manager Dave Roberts said.
