Dodgers Notebook: Inside Dave Roberts’ All-Star Prep; Shohei Ohtani’s All-Star Role

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is taking his time setting the NL All-Star lineup, invited Phillies’ Don Mattingly and Cardinals’ Oli Marmol as honorary coaches, and is juggling hometown choices and late roster changes.
Shohei Ohtani is set to make his scheduled start Friday after biceps tightness; he’s not expected to pitch or do the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game but might take “an at‑bat or two.”
Breakout Dodger Justin Wrobleski (10-2, 2.69 ERA) was initially snubbed but is a strong candidate to be added as a replacement if a starter can’t go.
