Ohtani keeps doing it on both sides of the plate as Dodgers notes spotlight Wrobleski and Tanner Scott

Shohei Ohtani’s run of two-way production remained the center of the Dodgers’ latest notebook update, with the team highlighting what he has been doing recently both on the mound and at the plate. The notes say Ohtani followed up his most recent start on Wednesday by continuing to push his offense forward, capping a three-game set in Pittsburgh with his second home run in as many games.

According to the Dodgers notes, Ohtani’s batting momentum since May 12 has come with increased impact at the top of the lineup. The update describes him as “picking up the pace” with the lumber and reaching base four times during that span, a detail that frames how his power has been paired with the ability to get on base. Together, those pieces suggest the Dodgers are treating his offensive role as a weekly multiplier rather than a passing hot streak.

The same update places Ohtani’s pitching work alongside his hitting. It notes he has “set the baseball world on fire” on the mound, even as it points to his most recent appearance on Wednesday. The key context for Dodgers fans is that Ohtani’s recent value is not limited to one phase of the game. Instead, the notes present a picture of a player doing enough in both roles to change the team’s margin for error, regardless of who else is available on any given day.

Beyond Ohtani, the Dodgers notebook turns to Justin Wrobleski and Tanner Scott, both of whom are part of the team’s continuing effort to keep run prevention and pitching depth aligned throughout the season. While the update is framed as “Dodgers notes,” it uses those names to reinforce that the organization’s attention is not only on its biggest star, but also on the internal pieces that help stabilize games when matchups get tight.

As with most team-notes columns, some of the useful information is what is emphasized rather than what is fully detailed. Here, the emphasis is Ohtani’s paired impact and the presence of other pitching figures in the day-to-day storyline. With the Dodgers heading into the next stretch of games, the immediate question is whether Ohtani can sustain the same blend of mound effectiveness and extra-base power, and whether Wrobleski and Scott continue to fit the roles the team needs most as workloads and matchups evolve.

What to watch next is simple: Ohtani’s ability to keep producing at the same level while juggling the demands of starting pitching and batting, and the way the Dodgers deploy their pitching depth around him. If Ohtani’s two-game home run streak turns into a longer pattern, it would not just add runs, it could also reshape how the team manages leverage innings and bullpen usage. In the near term, the notebook’s inclusion of Wrobleski and Scott indicates that the Dodgers are preparing for a season where contributions have to come from multiple arms, not only the one most visible on television.
