Initially, the Los Angeles Dodgers had hoped for Shohei Ohtani to return to pitching by May, but have now adopted a more cautious approach after a pause in his rehab. The team recognizes the need for a patient recovery following Ohtani's second Tommy John surgery. Currently back in a structured throwing program, Ohtani expresses optimism about his physical condition and emphasizes the importance of consulting with doctors to ensure a safe return to live pitching.
"I feel pretty good with where I'm at physically. There's some limitations on how hard I'm supposed to throw or how many types of pitches I'm allowed to throw. So once I'm pretty cleared out in terms of being able to do all the above, I feel pretty good about being able to throw a live BP."
"The Dodgers are consulting with the doctors just to make sure that, since this is my second operation, it's really important to be conservative and be thoughtful."
