Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provided an update on Shohei Ohtani’s potential return to pitching, indicating that Ohtani will soon start facing hitters but that a return to the mound is still a couple of months away. Ohtani, who has not pitched since undergoing elbow surgery while with the Los Angeles Angels, resumed his pitching preparation in March, impressing Roberts during a recent bullpen session with easy velocity. The 30-year-old has a career record of 38-19 with a 3.01 ERA and is expected to pitch for the Dodgers this year, including in the postseason.
