Shohei Ohtani homers in DH role

by Dave Kluge | Dodgers Correspondent | Fri, Aug 7th 10:12am EDT

Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and an additional run in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact:

Thursday's shot will bring Ohtani's home run total to three in 30 at-bats. The dual threat's biggest selling point prior to the season was his pitching and batting abilities, but with his pitching being shut down his bat might not be enough to warrant a fantasy slot. Ohtani is slashing .167/.219/.500 on the year and should remain in the cleanup spot as Justin Upton's struggles continue but dropping him wouldn't be a huge mistake at this point.
