On Saturday, Ohtani threw a 30-pitch bullpen. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani threw fastballs (both 4-seam and 2-seam) and splitters. Ohtani's return from Tommy John surgery is rightfully being handled with extreme caution. Not only have the Dodgers invested heavily in Ohtani, he's also their best hitter.

The Dodgers still have not announced an expected timetable for Ohtani’s pitching debut. Although the team initially hoped he’d take the mound in May, those plans changed when the three-time MVP began focusing solely on hitting late in spring training.

Shohei Ohtani is not having his way at the plate, going 1-12 in his past three games, including Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs where he went hitless in his five plate appearances.
