ESPN's early 'Sunday Night Baseball' schedule will feature Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers on two of the network's first three telecasts this season.

The schedule will open on March 31 when the Dodgers host the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Dodgers' opening two games of the season, a two-game series against the San Diego Padres in Seoul, South Korea, on March 20 and 21, were also assigned to ESPN as a special event.

Ohtani signed a record-breaking $700 million deal with the Dodgers this offseason.
