Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have agreed to a few rule tweaks, including one that will help Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels, according to a source.

One change will allow pitchers to remain in the lineup after they have been replaced on the mound, something that should often apply to Ohtani.

Other rule tweaks include expanded rosters and placing an automatic runner on second base during extra innings.

The new rules, first reported on by the New York Post, won't be official until MLB's owners ratify them with a simple majority next week.
