Shohei Ohtani Advances in Pitching Return

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way star Shohei Ohtani is making progress in his recovery and return to pitching, having not pitched in a game since July 3rd. He took a major step toward returning to the mound.

The two-way star hasn't pitched in a game since July 3. The Dodgers have been cautious with Ohtani’s recovery following his elbow surgery.

Ohtani underwent ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCL) on his right elbow in September and is not expected to pitch again until later this season. He continues to serve as the team's designated hitter, maintaining his offensive role while focusing on strengthening his arm for pitching duties.
