The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night in Cactus League play in Glendale, Ariz. The 6-5 win had a bit of everything, as Shohei Ohtani homered in his first at-bat of the spring and top prospect Dalton Rushing ended the contest with a walk-off double.

Veteran Austin Barnes has held down the fort in the meantime. Smith's absence has also allowed young Dalton Rushing, who is currently the No. 30 prospect in MLB's top 100 rankings, to get more time behind the plate. The 29-year-old is ready for in-game action now, though.

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani hit a solo home run in his first spring training plate appearance following offseason shoulder surgery.

Trout will bat third and play right field against Chicago, and left-hander Reid Detmers will start on the mound in that game. This decision by the Angels means the next possible Trout-Ohtani matchup will come on March 5 when these two teams play a spring training contest at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.
