Ohtani Bullpen Session Goes Well, Return Path Outlined
Dave Roberts and GM Brandon Gomes both expressed optimism about Ohtani pitching again this regular season following a successful bullpen outing.
Shohei Ohtani completed a bullpen session that drew positive reviews from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. If he continues to progress, the plan calls for one or two more bullpen sessions followed by at least two live batting practice sessions before a return to game action. Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes confirmed the organization still expects Ohtani to pitch in the regular season. The timeline remains contingent on how Ohtani responds to each successive step in his rehab.
