Dodgers manager Dave Roberts discussed how he plans on utilizing the designated hitter role this season.

A lot of things will look different about the 2020 MLB season. Imagine watching the Los Angeles Dodgers play in front of an empty Dodger Stadium every night? It will be interesting, to say the least.

Another new wrinkle will be the addition of the designated hitter in the National League. While some senior circuit clubs are scrambling to identify options to fill the role, including possibly signing Yasiel Puig, the Dodgers are well-positioned for the extra spot in the lineup.
