Dodgers' Dave Roberts Mum on Shohei Ohtani Home Run Derby Plans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Dodgers are working to build two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani back up into a starting pitcher. And in the meantime, he just keeps on slugging. Ohtani has now opened two games for the Dodgers and could see his next start come on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. Ohtani has provided a critical bat at the top of the Dodgers' order and there was some concern that adding a pitching workload might hurt his offensive production. But so far, he's put those concerns to rest. Since returning to the mound, Ohtani has 10 RBI, two homers and four walks in just eight games. At this point, there's very little that Ohtani can do to build on his legacy as the most exciting player in all of baseball. And as he leads all National League players in votes for the All-Star Game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was asked if he might return to the Home Run Derby in hopes of winning it for the first time.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 18: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers reacts to a walk off solo home run by Will Smith #16 in the bottom of the ninth inning against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium on June 18, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) More Wang/Getty "That is a question for Shohei," Roberts responded, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register. "I'm staying out of that." Roberts, who will also manage the National League All-Star team, offered more definitive answers on some follow up questions, though. He ruled out the idea of Ohtani pitching in the game and indicated that he would position his superstar as the leadoff hitter. "The fans love him," Roberts added. "He's the best player. It's going to be exciting for the fans to watch him in Atlanta for the All-Star Game." Baseball fans should be happy enough to see Ohtani's bat in the Midsummer Classic. But for a player who can seemingly do it all, it might not be too much to ask that he swings it in the Home Run Derby as well. More MLB: Time For Angels To Let Mike Trout Depart Anaheim?

Alex Bregman Has 'Next to No Chance' of Being Traded By Red Sox
Alex Bregman Has 'Next to No Chance' of Being Traded By Red Sox originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After the Boston Red Sox traded away Rafael Devers, the availability of other stars on the team came into question. The biggest name that could be moved is third baseman Alex Bregman. Advertisement While there have been rumors and reports about his availability, a new report from Sean McAdam of points towards the All-Star third baseman staying in Boston through the 2025 season. During a segment with Chris Cotillo of for Fenway Rundown on Twitter/X, McAdam said, "I see next to no chance of Alex Bregman being dealt." Bregman would be a hot commodity if he were on the trade block, and would fetch a nice return. But this report from McAdam shuts down the discussions of a Bregman deal. Part of why he became a name to monitor is that he's expected to opt out of his current deal after the 2025 season. Bregman, based on his production before getting hurt, was on pace to have an incredible season, which would've set him up to surpass his previous deal. Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman (2) throws to second base against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Biggerstaff-Imagn Images Bregman signed a three-year deal worth $120 million in the offseason, but now, he's looking to leave after 2025 and secure even more money. With his incredible start to 2025, it might be possible. Advertisement Bregman has 2.9 WAR through 51 games and was on an incredible pace. He had 59 hits, 32 runs scored, 17 doubles, 11 home runs, 35 RBIs, 22 walks, and 42 strikeouts in 197 at-bats. He was batting .299 before the injury, and had an OPS of .938, which would put him in the same range as his All-Star seasons in 2018 and 2019. He's 31 years old and still showcasing incredible offensive upside after years of decent play in Houston. Boston, with their current roster, is planning to contend in 2025. Trading away Bregman wouldn't align with that thought process, and this report from McAdam confirms the Red Sox are planning to contend. If it were strictly about team building and making the best moves, trading Bregman would be the best path forward. But, after this report, it seems unlikely that the Red Sox will trade Bregman at the trade deadline.

Four things to know about new Celtics forward Georges Niang
Here are four things to know about Niang: He is productive off the bench When healthy, Porzingis made the Celtics a matchup nightmare in just about every facet of the game due to his length (7-foot-2), post game, rim protection, and ability to sink 3-point shots. Advertisement Niang won't be able to impact a game in the sheer variety of ways that Porzingis could do when he was locked in. But, the veteran could be a dependable piece for Joe Mazzulla off the bench in 2025-26. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Related : Now set to enter his 10th season in the NBA, Niang spent the 2024-25 campaign with the Cavaliers before getting traded to the Hawks as part of the De'Andre Hunter trade. Over 79 games (three starts) between the two teams last season, Niang averaged 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists With Advertisement Niang's style should fit in well Much like Simons, it should come as little surprise why a team like the Celtics would welcome a player like Niang to their roster. The 6-foot-7 forward has built a reputation as an effective 3-point shooter over the course of his career, posting a career 39.9 shooting percentage from beyond the arc. This past season, Niang converted on 40.6 percent of his shots from 3-point range. With Tatum on the mend, a Celtics team starved for offense without its best player on the court could look to make up at least some of the production in the aggregate by adding a pair of sharpshooters to Mazzulla's squad in Niang and Simons. Niang hails from Massachusetts Niang already has plenty of ties to Boston, considering that he was born in Lawrence and grew up in Methuen as a Celtics fan. Before making the jump to the college game at Iowa State, Niang was a force across the New England circuit, staring at the Tilton School while also playing for Boston AAU powerhouse BABC. Related : As part of a Tilton School basketball program that has featured other NBA players like Nerlens Noel and Terance Mann, Niang stands as the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,372 points. During his senior year at Tilton, Niang averaged 25.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, earning 2012 NEPSAC Class AA Player of the Year honors. He had an interesting encounter with Jaylen Brown during the 2023 playoffs Niang drew the ire of now-Celtics teammate Jaylen Brown while the two faced off during the 2023 Eastern Conference semifinals between Boston and Philadelphia. During Boston's Game 7 win over Philly, Brown was tripped up after Niang – sitting on the Sixers' bench — reached out from his seat and appeared to grab Brown's leg to slow him down at the start of a fast-break sequence. Advertisement Brown turned and yelled at the Sixers' bench after the play, with both Brown and Niang eventually assessed technicals after the sequence was reviewed. 'I think he just thought, like, 'Maybe let me just try to grab him to slow him down a little bit,'' Brown said. 'I don't think Niang's a bad guy or anything. I work out with him in the offseason. I just think he just got caught up in the intensity of the game and made a play and I responded to it. 'I don't know which way I should have responded to it. But if I didn't do anything it probably would have played on. … I don't think Niang was thinking when he did it. I don't think he's a bad guy, just caught up in the emotion of the game.'
