Pete Crow-Armstrong emerged as the favorite to win NL MVP on Wednesday after slugging two home runs in a win against the Dodgers that saw their star, Shohei Ohtani, also go deep twice.
Shohei Ohtani was absent from the Dodgers' lineup in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Mariners because of lingering soreness in his left knee, but manager Dave Roberts said he will be back Friday.
