Shohei Ohtani reveals hope with pitching amid Dodgers' patient approach
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers are cautiously awaiting Shohei Ohtani's anticipated return to pitching this season. Initially predicted to return by May, the timeline now seems uncertain. Ohtani has resumed throwing, participating in regular bullpen sessions, but continues to face restrictions. He expressed a desire to progress to facing hitters, pending approval from medical staff. A cautious approach is emphasized due to the complexity of his prior surgeries. Meanwhile, the Dodgers deal with rotation challenges as other pitchers face injuries, further complicating the team's depth this season.
I'm still at the stage in which I have limits on the types of pitches I can throw and limits on speed. I think that will be something I discuss with the doctor and the team staff. Personally, I think it's something I'd like to do not too far out.
ElAttrache said that since it's my second operation, it's better to be careful. Personally, I think I'd like to go along with that.
