Ohtani says he is a father again in Instagram post
Shohei Ohtani, a star player for the Los Angeles Dodgers, announced via Instagram that he and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, have welcomed their second child. The post included images of the newborn, described as a son, along with a small stuffed toy resembling Ohtani's dog, Decoy. The announcement followed Ohtani's absence from the team, which the Dodgers attributed to paternity leave. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed he learned of the news 'very recently.' Ohtani, known for keeping his personal life private, previously kept his daughter's identity confidential.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is day-to-day with left knee inflammation and was absent from the starting lineup for Friday night's game against the Chicago White Sox.
Bias read (Center): The article reports on a sports-related injury without any political commentary, framing, or biased language. The subject matter is apolitical and focuses solely on an athlete's health status and team lineup decision.
Why these scores (Factual 95 · Objective 90): Highly factual with specific details about Ohtani's condition, manager's comments, and team updates. Slightly lower objectivity due to minor emphasis on Ohtani's status as 'NL West leaders' and 'reigning NL MVP,' which could imply bias.
