Shohei Ohtani has undergone UCL surgery, sidelining him for 2024, with a potential return to pitching expected in 2025, but challenges may arise.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts commented on Ohtani's recovery, stating it’s "very unlikely" he pitches during the season-opening series in Tokyo due to timing concerns.
Despite a labrum tear in his non-throwing shoulder, Roberts believes this won't affect Ohtani's pitching, emphasizing that the elbow is the main concern.
Opening the season in Tokyo represents a unique challenge for the Dodgers, with Ohtani's return to Japan heightening the significance of the upcoming international series.
