Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani says he is married and his new bride is Japanese. He said his new wife was a "Japanese woman" without identifying her.
The news broke in the middle of the night in North America, and late afternoon in Japan. Ohtishi just underwent surgery on his right elbow and will not pitch this season. He will be used as a designated hitter, and the possibility also exists he could play in the field. In his spring training debut this week, he hit a two-run home run against the Chicago White Sox.
