Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provided an optimistic update on Shohei Ohtani's recovery, indicating a chance he could return before the All-Star break after a successful simulated game. Ohtani impressed with 15 whiffs and six strikeouts in just three innings of work. Despite the team's eagerness for his return amidst several pitching injuries, Roberts stated they will not rush him. If Ohtani progresses without setbacks, a comeback in early July seems plausible, bolstering the rotation that is currently dealing with multiple injuries.
Roberts even said the chances of Ohtani returning before the All-Star break are 'north of zero,' indicating a possibility of a two-way debut.
Ohtani is ramping up rather quickly now, providing optimism for his return timeline, with a potential comeback by early July.
