Shohei Ohtani has resumed pitching, making his second start for the Dodgers against the Washington Nationals after a one-inning debut. While there are concerns about his hitting, with a .222 average and increased strikeouts, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts attributes these struggles to chasing pitches rather than Ohtani's return to the mound. In his latest game, Ohtani improved offensively, recording 2 hits, 3 runs, 5 RBIs, and a home run, alongside a strong pitching performance with zero hits allowed in one inning. His upcoming starts remain uncertain as he seeks consistency in both roles.
"The last week, I think, yeah, he's been struggling a little bit, chasing a little bit more. I wouldn't think it's related to (his return to) pitching."
"During the win on Sunday, Ohtani went 2-for-4 with three runs, five RBIs and one home run."
