Shohei Ohtani's labrum surgery could delay return to pitching, but shouldn't impact swing
Briefly

Shohei Ohtani is expected to be in the lineup for the Dodgers' 2025 season opener in Japan, but his pitching return is now uncertain after recent labrum surgery.
General manager Brandon Gomes acknowledged the complexity of Ohtani's rehabilitation, stating that they would approach it step by step to ensure he's in the best possible health.
Ohtani’s recovery timeline has been pushed back due to a new surgery on his left shoulder, complicating his offseason throwing program and rotation readiness.
The decision to delay his pitching rehab during the postseason highlighted the team's cautious approach to managing Ohtani’s health, aiming to prevent overexertion.
