Dodgers slightly adjust schedule for Shohei Ohtani to face batters
Briefly

Shohei Ohtani has made significant progress in his recovery from a second right elbow surgery by facing hitters for the first time since his procedure. Initially throwing to batters in New York, he shifted to facing Minor Leaguers at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani's schedule includes weekly light bullpen sessions and live batting practice, though he will now face hitters in San Diego. While there is no set timeline for his return to pitching, the Dodgers expect him to resume as a high-caliber starter after the All-Star break.
Ohtani took a major step in his recovery by facing batters for the first time after elbow surgery, and is expected to quickly return as a frontline starter.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts mentioned that Ohtani will face hitters in San Diego instead of Busch Stadium, aligning with a schedule favoring better weather.
