Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Seei Ohtani announced Saturday that he and his wife, Mamiko, have welcomed their first child.

Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts said Friday that he was not sure when Ohtani – who could remain in the paternity for three days – would reunite with the team. If not in Texas can be when dodgers play ling in Agoikago on Tuesday.

Ohtani also thanked the Dodgers organization and teammates, as well as his fans’ legion, “for their continued support and polite words of encouragement.”

Ohtan had announced on Instagram in January that he and Mamiko were waiting for their first child, posting a photo of their dog, Decay, posing along with the wearing of a baby of a pink hour.

Roberts said on Friday that he and Ohtan had not discussed the 30-year-old’s close paternity.

“He’s a very good separation, but he loves his sleep,” Roberts said. “It will be interesting to see how sleep wins or does not win when you have a baby.”
