Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Thursday that there will be a universal designated hitter starting in the upcoming season, meaning the DH is coming to the National League.

He also said that a draft lottery will be added as a way to prevent tanking. Manfred’s announcement comes as MLB and the players’ union are set to have a negotiating session Saturday. The players have been locked out since December 1.
