Shohei Ohtani announced the birth of his second child on Instagram Saturday, sharing a photo of tiny hands and feet in a blue blanket. The Dodgers' two-way star was away from the team Friday on paternity leave before returning to the lineup for Saturday's home game against Baltimore.

Ohtani hit a solo home run in the ninth inning against the Baltimore Orioles, accounting for Los Angeles' first run in a 3-2 defeat. The blast marked his 16th home run of the season. He finished the night 1-for-4 as the designated hitter, providing a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing loss.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed both mother and child are healthy before the game. Ohtani's daughter was born in April 2025, and he continues to keep his family life private, never revealing her name or showing her face on social media. The couple also thanked supporters in their Instagram message.

Despite the personal milestone, Ohtani remains focused on baseball. He's still scheduled to make his next pitching start Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins on the road. The birth adds another layer to his already remarkable two-way season, as he balances family responsibilities with his historic performance on the mound and at the plate.
