The Dodgers still have not announced an expected timetable for Ohtani’s pitching debut. Although the team initially hoped he’d take the mound in May, those plans changed when the three-time MVP began focusing solely on hitting late in spring training.

Ohtani raked at the plate for the Dodgers last season, posting a .310 batting average with 54 home runs and 130 runs batted in, but he did not pitch at all after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Ohtani threw his third bullpen session of the season on Saturday, with manager Dave Roberts weighing in on his status.

Shohei Ohtani's return to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers has received major updates after he threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday as he continues to recover from his second Tommy John surgery.
