Dodgers’ Ohtani Physically Sound, No Pitching Timeline Yet

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Shohei Ohtani is "in a good spot" physically, but the club has not set a timetable for when the two‑way star might return to the mound this season. Roberts emphasized that the decision will hinge on Ohtani’s ongoing health and performance, and that the team will monitor him closely before making a call. The lack of a concrete schedule means the Dodgers must keep their pitching rotation flexible and may need to rely on other starters to fill the void if Ohtani’s pitching role remains uncertain. The organization’s next step is to assess Ohtani’s condition in the coming weeks and determine whether his pitching duties can be reintroduced without compromising his overall contribution to the team.
