## Caption

Shohei Ohtani quietly made a significant impact off the field by helping a Dodgers teammate’s family during a difficult time. ⁠
⁠
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed that Ohtani made a very large personal contribution to assist relief pitcher Gus Varland’s mother with cancer treatment. Roberts shared that Varland’s mother later told him she is now cancer free. ⁠
⁠
Ohtani, who joined the Dodgers on a historic 10-year, $700 million contract, continues to earn praise not only for his on-field achievements but also for his private acts of generosity.⁠
