Ohtani underwent surgeries on his elbow and shoulder in 2023, limiting his ability to pitch early in the 2024 season despite his progress in hitting.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence that Ohtani will hit in the Tokyo Series, emphasizing that while expectations are high, the team's priority is Ohtani's health.
Ohtani's offseason shoulder surgery restricts his ability to rehab for pitching, leading to a high likelihood that he will not pitch when the season begins.
The Dodgers must carefully manage Ohtani's workload to avoid overexertion as he recovers from two significant surgeries, which complicates his 2024 season progression.
