Why Shohei Ohtani Won't Pitch in the 2026 All-Star Game | This Week in Shohei Ohtani News

Shohei Ohtani will NOT pitch in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game... but there's a very good reason why.

On this week's This Week in Shohei Ohtani News, I break down why the Dodgers pushed Ohtani's schedule back, why it means he won't take the mound in Philadelphia, and why I actually think it was the right decision.

We'll also cover: - The real reason behind the schedule change - Ohtani's latest week at the plate - His comments about returning home to his growing family - Dave Roberts becoming the fastest manager ever to reach 1,000 wins - And everything else you need to know from another week of Shohei Ohtani news.
