Shohei Ohtani threw his first bullpen session in a month as he prepares for a return to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts stated there is no confirmed timeline for Ohtani’s debut, highlighting the importance of natural progression in pitching. Ohtani, who has not pitched since his elbow surgery, has been performing as a designated hitter and has already made an impact with two home runs this season. The Dodgers are currently well-staffed in their rotation and can afford to exercise patience with Ohtani's recovery.
Ohtani threw more than 20 pitches in the bullpen after previously pausing pitching work to focus on being a hitter for the regular season.
Manager Dave Roberts emphasized there’s no confirmed timeline for Ohtani’s return, citing the need for natural progress with pitching before he faces hitters.
