Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling
Mizuhara was born in Japan and grew up in Southern California. He graduated from Diamond Bar High School in 2003, where he played on the soccer team, then attended UC Riverside.
Mizuhara first crossed paths with Ohtani while working as an English-language interpreter for American players on the
Nippon-Ham Fighters, Ohtani’s Japanese team in the Nippon Professional Baseball league.
When Ohtani signed with the Angels in late 2017, Mizuhara became his personal interpreter. Mizuhara followed Ohtani to the Dodgers during the offseason.
Mizuhara has been a constant companion of the extremely private Ohtani throughout the player’s MLB career. The two typically drive to the ballpark together. Mizuhara performed grocery runs when Ohtani was injured. They are rarely seen apart around team facilities. Their wives even appeared to have struck up a relationship recently, spending time together during the team’s current trip to South Korea.
In recent years, Ohtani has become the face of Major League Baseball and one of the most celebrated athletes in the world. Before he signed with the Dodgers, Ohtani was the most sought-after free agent in baseball history, and his gargantuan contract is similarly unprecedented.

水原氏の略歴です。
perform grocery runsは，そのままだと「食料品の買い出しをする」（To go (and) buy groceries）ですが，わたしがカリフォルニアにいた頃には perform supermarket runs もよく耳にしていました。
でも，文字通りの意味の加えて，「日常の身の回りの世話をする」という意味でも用います（cf. run an errand）。記事はこちらでしょう。日本の英和辞書にはあるのかな...。
