IT'S SHO-TIME: Shohei Ohtani PLAYS THIS WEEKEND | Mookie Betts' MVP REDEMPTION

Los Angeles Dodgers ignite Cactus League play with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto ready for immediate action—no rehab, no limits. With Ohtani set to DH and Yamamoto to start, Dodgers fans can expect high-octane performances from the outset. Manager Dave Roberts stirs debate by predicting a return to MVP form for Mookie Betts, raising questions: will Betts rebound offensively after a subpar 2025 season and a challenging transition to shortstop? Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers dissect Ohtani’s prepared ramp-up ahead of the WBC, Yamamoto’s durability after a rigorous playoff run, and shifting lineup strategies with Betts batting third. Concerns mount over Brusdar Graterol’s shoulder injury and uncertain bullpen future. Will the Dodgers’ relief power and depth be enough for a championship run, or will injuries and age threaten their momentum? Don’t miss this breakdown of early spring storylines and roster challenges as Dodgers baseball returns. All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers!
