Shohei Ohtani is recovering from a complex shoulder surgery after injuring it during the World Series, yet his hitting ability remains unaffected. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Ohtani's back shoulder surgery is less concerning for his batting. Despite recovering from a second Tommy John surgery that kept him from pitching last season, he is expected to return to the mound by May. Ohtani's past experience with surgeries offers optimism for his recovery and his anticipated contributions to the Dodgers’ rotation in the coming season.
Ohtani didn't miss a game and had the procedure done six days after winning his first title on Nov. 5.
The shoulder surgery was kind of a complicated surgery, the joint is in a complicated place.
Ohtani has been through this before. He had his first Tommy John surgery in 2018.
Once he gets to spring training and we see where the throwing program is, I think we'll just go from there.
