Shohei Otani will appear in the opening game starting on the 28th, Japan time, against the White Sox. On the 24th, Otani practiced using machines at an indoor batting range at a camp held in Glendale, Arizona.

The team had an exhibition game against the Angels, with whom Ohtani played until last season, but he remained at the Dodgers' camp. Due to future schedules, it is expected that he will not be able to participate in an exhibitiongame until the 27th.
