The Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw pitched just 4 ⅔ innings Tuesday night against the New York Mets, allowing five runs (three earned). (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times)Before anything, Clayton Kershaw has to believe. Before he can snap off curveballs the way he used to, before he can be a dependable member of the rotation instead of last resort, he has to believe.

Shohei Ohtani was about halfway through his home-run trot when Taro Abe stood up from his second-row seat in the Vin Scully Press Box and tucked his green scorebook under his right arm. “Let’s go,” Abe said in Japanese. Abe, a writer for Japan’s Chunichi Sports newspaper, was followed into the concourse of Dodger Stadium’s suite level by four other reporters from his country. They were on a mission: Find the person who caught Ohtani’s home-run ball.

They don’t know what their rotation will look like in October, and they don’t know how worn down their bullpen will look like. What the Dodgers know is this: They have Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani will give them a chance in October regardless of what their roster looks like, just as he did on Friday night in an 8-5 victory over the New York Yankees. How can a player who takes four or five at-bats on most nights have such an oversized influence on games?

Betts told the Times on Friday night that he fractured his toe at home this week, after the Dodgers returned from a road trip on Wednesday night. “I was just going to the bathroom in the dark and hit my toe on a wall,” he said.

LOS ANGELES - Slow down. Previously limited to fastballs and splitters, Shohei Ohtani threw a handful of sliders and curveballs in his mid-week bullpen session, but that doesn't mean he will be a two-way player again before the All-Star break. Ohtani is lined up to potentially face hitters in a simulated game on Saturday in New York, but that doesn't mean he will pitch in the upcoming four-week stretch that could determine the course of the Dodgers' season.

LOS ANGELES - His smile has brightened the locker room, his bat has energized a once-impotent segment of the lineup and his speed has transformed their offense. Hyeseong Kim belongs in the major leagues. Manager Dave Roberts was asked the other night about the "difficult decision" the Dodgers will have to make on Kim when utilityman Tommy Edman and outfielder Teoscar Hernández return from the injured list in the next couple of weeks, but nothing about this decision should be difficult.
