Dodgers manager Dave Roberts faces a decision about who would start for the National League in the All-Star Game, according to coverage focused on the situation involving Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Multiple reports describe the question as whether Roberts would select Ohtani to start even though Yamamoto continues to perform at a high level. The articles note that Yamamoto’s continued strong pitching performance keeps him in the conversation for a starting role, while Ohtani remains a top candidate for the lineup given his impact and prominence on the Dodgers.
The coverage frames the decision as one that Roberts could still make in Ohtani’s favor, despite Yamamoto’s sustained excellence. It does not indicate a final selection but emphasizes the ongoing evaluation by the Dodgers’ manager as the All-Star roster and roles are determined. Overall, the reports converge on the idea that both players are considered viable starters, and that Roberts’ eventual choice hinges on the balancing of performance and lineup considerations as the All-Star Game approaches.
