See Also The Dodgers are pumping the breaks on prized two-way star Shohei Ohtanis return to the mound. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2023, Ohtani still apparently isnt ready to jump back into intense bullpen se sions this spring. We just felt that to intensify the bullpens alongside of the intensity of the games (as designated hitter) wasnt smart, manager Dave Roberts said, . So, we just wanted to kind of slow-play it.

USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con Shohei Ohtani throws in the outfield on Feb. 28, 2025. AP Ohtani has not yet thrown a pitch for the Dodgers, having last taken the mound as a member of the Angels before departing for the in-state rivals that offseason. Ohtani was a Cy Young contender in 2022 when he pitched to a 2.33 ERA ad 219 strikeouts in 166 innings. He finished fourth in Cy Young voting that year. The Dodgers arguably dont even need him to pitch, considering their rotation has more talent than just about any team in the Major Leagues. They currently have a rotation littered with stars, including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Tony Gonsolin and Clayton Kershaw. That rotation has a combined five Cy Young awards, by far the most in the MLB this year. Zack Thompson Jersey
