    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts finds counseling role heightened
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has a lot on his plate.
    He is getting his team ready for a shortened 60-game season that will begin July 23 against the Giants. He’s doing so amid a coronavirus pandemic that is not going away, as well as nationwide civil unrest spurred by the death of a Black man, George Floyd, at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis.
    It’s a nervous, even scary, time for many people, and professional athletes are not immune to those emotions. Roberts therefore fin

    ANAHEIM — Shohei Ohtani has been slowed over the past few days by some back stiffness, but Manager Joe Maddon said he wasn’t concerned.
    “He’s feeling good,” Maddon said Saturday. “Obviously we’re going to be cautious with him now. I’m optimistic he’ll be able to take his turn next turn next week. Nothing alarming. Just felt a little stiffness. Yesterday, he felt he was in a pretty good place.”

    Recipe: Fresh fennel, with its licorice notes, pairs nicely with smoked salmon in this salad
    If you like a mild anise flavor, more than likely you will love this easy-to-prepare salad. Fresh fennel combines crisp texture with scrumptious licorice notes. It makes a welcome counterpoint to thinly sliced smoked salmon.
    Of course, you can serve this dish with cocktails (a summertime gin & tonic comes to mind), but it can also be a dinner entree if just serving two. Heat up a baguette to accompany it.
