TORONTO (AP) — Shohei Ohtani might start Game 7 of the World Series on Saturday. Tyler Glasnow might pitch on back-to-back days. For Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, the only certainty is that Yoshinobu Yamamoto won't pitch. Besides that?

"Everyone will be available," Roberts said.

The Dodgers survived a wild ninth inning to hold off the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in Game 6, forcing the winner-take-all showdown Saturday night. Three-time Cy Young Award winner and former Dodger Max Scherzer is expected to start for the Blue Jays.

The Dodgers pitching plans are less certain, but they do include two-way Ohtani in some fashion. Roberts said Thursday that he'd consider using Ohtani as an opener or even as an outfielder in Game 7, and stuck with that after Game 6.

"I think right now, there's no wrong answer," Roberts said. "He's certainly going to be a part of the pitching plan. With Shohei it could be two innings, but it could be four innings. So I'm not sure where we're going to slot him. We're going to have to talk to him first on where he feels most comfortable."

If Ohtani entered as a reliever after starting the game as a designated hitter, he would need to play a position after pitching to remain in the game. The Dodgers would lose their DH.

Per MLB rules created to facilitate Ohtani's two-way status, Ohtani can remain in the game as a DH if he begins the game as the starting pitcher.

Ohtani threw 93 pitches in Wednesday's 6-2 loss in Game 4, allowing four runs and six hits in six innings.

Ohtani has never pitched in relief during his Major League Baseball career. He made a handful of relief appearances in Japan for the Pacific League's Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, mostly as a rookie in 2013. He closed out Japan's victory in the 2023 World Baseball Classic final against the United States, striking out then-Los Angeles Angels teammate Mike Trout for the final out.

Ohtani made seven outfield appearances with the Angels in 2021, the year before a rule was changed allowing starting pitchers to stay in games at DH after being removed from mound appearances.

Roberts surprised many by using Glasnow out of the bullpen to close out Game 6. Glasnow, Saturday's presumed starter, began warming in the ninth inning and relieved Roki Sasaki with runners on second and third and no outs. He got three outs on three pitches, including a popup by Ernie Clement and a line drive from Andres Gimenez that turned into a game-ending double play.

"I just felt right there, Roki wasn't as sharp," Roberts said. "Glas is a guy who has swing-and-miss stuff and I just wanted to bet on him. He's been champing at the bit to make an impact."

Glasnow allowed four runs, two earned, and five hits in 4 2/3 innings in Game 3, which the Dodgers won 6-5 in 18 innings.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Jerami Grant made a pair of free throws with 1.4 seconds left and the Portland Trail Blazers rallied for a 109-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in the NBA Cup opener for both teams.

Denver led 81-71 going into the fourth quarter. With 27.7 seconds left and the Nuggets in front 107-105, Grant hit a pair of free throws for the Blazers to tie it.

After a scramble on the other end, Shaedon Sharpe blocked Aaron Gordon's jumper and the Nuggets were called for a shot clock violation, giving Portland the ball with three seconds left.

A foul was called on Gordon and Grant made the free throws. Nikola Jokic missed a 13-foot jumper as the clock ran out.

Jokic had 21 points and 14 rebounds but fell just short of his fifth straight triple double to open the season with nine assists. Jokic went into the game tied with Oscar Robertson (1961-62) and Russell Westbrook (2020-21) for most consecutive triple-doubles to start the season with four.

Grant had 16 points off the bench for the Blazers, who won their third straight. Deni Avdija led Portland with 23 and Sharpe had 19.

Jamal Murray added 22 points for the Nuggets. The loss snapped Denver's three- game winning streak.

Murray was questionable with left calf soreness but started and the Nuggets went up 30-18 on his layup. Avdija's layup tied it for Portland at 41 but the Nuggets went into halftime with a 57-53 lead.

The Blazers briefly pulled in front 68-67 on Kris Murray's layup before Denver's 9-0 run to end the third quarter for a 10-point lead.

There was a lengthy delay at the end of the first quarter because of a shot clock malfunction at the Moda Center.

The first responders on *9-1-1* are no strangers to grief and loss, but this week's episode ended with a real-life tribute.

Season 9, episode 4 of the ABC first-responder drama — featuring Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) fighting to get back to Earth after their ill-fated trip to space — concluded with a tribute card simply reading "For Dad."

** can confirm the dedication was in honor of Charles Minear Sr., the father of *9-1-1* co-creator, showrunner, and executive producer Tim Minear.

Minear also served as co-creator and a showrunner on spinoff *9-1-1: Lone Star* and is co-creator of the latest expansion of the *9-1-1* universe, *9-1-1: Nashville*.

This will sadly not be the only tribute at the end of a *9-1-1* episode this week. EW recently reported that *9-1-1: Nashville* will acknowledge the Oct. 19 death of rising star Isabelle Tate, who appeared on the premiere of the new series.

A representative for Tate revealed the 23-year-old actress died from a rare form of a neurological disorder, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which is a group of "inherited conditions that cause nerve damage," mainly to the arms and legs, according to the Mayo Clinic.

"Isabelle 'Izzy' Tate had a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease," said Kim McCray, founder of Tate's The McCray Agency. She added that Tate "passed away peacefully" and that "the family requests privacy as they deal with this sudden and shocking loss."

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association in Tate's name.

Tate's tribute will air at the end of *9-1-1: Nashville* season 1, episode 4, which concludes tonight at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
