ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Two-way star Shohei Ohtani is now a father.

The Los Angeles Dodgers slugger’s wife gave birth to a girl, manager Dave Roberts said on the telecast of LA’s game at the Texas Rangers on Saturday.

“Congratulations Sho!” Roberts proclaimed while saying he wasn’t sure what the baby’s name was.

The 30-year-old Ohtani missed the first two games of the series matching the past two World Series champions. Before the game Saturday, Roberts said he didn’t have an update on the baby, but was hopeful Ohtani would rejoin the club for the series finale Sunday.
