Shohei Ohtani recently threw fastballs during a 20-pitch bullpen session, marking his first time on a mound since February. Despite ongoing physical challenges, including a UCL tear and a recent labrum issue, Ohtani's recovery is focused on gradually returning to pitching. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated that Ohtani's debut as a pitcher is still uncertain and may take longer than expected, emphasizing the need for a natural progression in his training. Ohtani can still contribute as a designated hitter during his recovery.
It's going to be awhile before Ohtani makes his pitching debut in a Dodgers uniform, as he begins the natural progression of a bullpen.
The timeline for Ohtani's return to pitching still remains uncertain after multiple injuries, with the Dodgers keying his recovery and bullpen sessions.
