There’s a fine line between patience and paranoia in MLB—and right now, the Dodgers are walking it in cleats. The post “Important to Be Conservative” – Shohei Ohtani Drops Key Update on Pitching Return as Dodgers Look to “Clean Up” the Path Ahead appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Ohtani hasn’t pitched since August 2023 and is coming off his second elbow procedure. The Dodgers, fresh off a World Series title without him on the mound, have added arms like Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki, giving them more reason to stay patient.

There was talk that Ohtani could face hitters before the season started. Then he went a month without throwing a bullpen session.
