"I think it's fluid. I would say I like the six innings tomorrow, depending on how he's throwing the baseball. And then maybe a repeat of that, or seven, depending on efficiency."
"Innings aren't all created equal. All throws aren't created equal. We talk to him a lot on how he's feeling, and if there's days that we got to give him a couple extra days, we're willing to do that."
"Ohtani returned to the mound with a 2.87 ERA and 11.87 strikeouts per nine last season, showing he's still among the elite arms in baseball when he's healthy."
Shohei Ohtani is starting his first full season as a two-way player for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2026. After being limited to designated hitter in his first season, he pitched only 47 innings last year. The Dodgers plan to be cautious with his workload, adjusting based on his performance and health. Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes the need for flexibility in managing Ohtani's innings, acknowledging that not all innings are equal and that they will communicate regularly with him about how he feels.
