| 9/02/26 | Shohei Ohtani feels good, but the Dodgers still won’t commit to his next start. The Los Angeles Dodgers remain undecided about Shohei Ohtani's return to pitching this season. The two-way superstar hasn't pitched in two months due to pain in his left knee and right biceps. Last week, he threw a 20-pitch bullpen session in Detroit but was scratched from a potential start two days later. Manager Dave Roberts says Ohtani feels good physically. However, he won't know the next step until he sees Ohtani throw another bullpen. Ohtani was 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA in 14 starts before being shut down. At this time, Roberts says isn't a candidate to start at the outfield corners. Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/shohei-ohtani... |
