Dodgers Delay Ohtani's Return to Pitching Due to Knee

Los Angeles Dodgers are holding off on bringing Shohei Ohtani back to the mound, as the team’s president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman, says the left knee still needs time to recover before a full throwing program begins.

While Ohtani remains active with medicine‑ball throws to keep his right arm engaged, he continues as a designated hitter. The knee has improved after an MRI and a lubricant injection during the All‑Star break, and the club is confident he’ll be ready soon. forumteam.blog
