But I don\u2019t have to make that decision quite yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roberts will manage the National League All-Stars in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani is already penciled into the starting lineup as the designated hitter because he was the overall leader with 3,341,257 votes after the first phase of fan balloting.<\/p>\n<p>The right-hander is a strong candidate to be selected to the NL pitching staff as well, but Philadelphia left-hander Cristopher S\u00e1nchez seems most likely to start in his home ballpark. Milwaukee ace Jacob Misiorowski leads the majors with a 1.45 ERA but is on turn to pitch for the Brewers two days before the All-Star Game, which would make him unavailable against the American League. <\/p>\n<p>Ohtani was second with a 1.58 ERA going into Friday night\u2019s start against San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4919\">Magical World Cup ride of Vozinha and Cape Verde ends after pushing Messi and Argentina to the brink<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers wanted Ohtani to get additional rest during a stretch of 13 games in 13 days. After his outing Friday, he\u2019s scheduled to make one more start before the All-Star Game on July 10 against Arizona at home. That would give his arm only three days of rest prior to the Midsummer Showcase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShohei hasn\u2019t had his best stuff recently and that\u2019s the truth,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cThe fastball command hasn\u2019t been what it was earlier in the season, the sweeper hasn\u2019t been the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani has been bothered by left knee soreness and has a blister on the middle finger of his right hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe feels good, the body feels good,\u201d Roberts said before Friday\u2019s game. \u201cThe knee feels as good as it\u2019s felt in quite some time, so that\u2019s encouraging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4917\">Jhon Arias scores and Colombia beats Ghana 1-0 to reach the World Cup Round of 16<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Shohei Ohtani is unlikely to pitch in the All-Star Game on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
