Shohei Ohtani Could Pitch One Inning Next Sunday
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (knee) could be back on the mound as early as next Sunday, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. The Dodgers are considering having Ohtani return to the mound and throw one inning versus the Detroit Tigers next Sunday. Ohtani threw a 30-pitch live batting practice session on Saturday. He hasn't pitched in a big league game since July 3 due to a lingering knee issue. The Dodgers don't have a starter announced for next Sunday, so it sounds like Ohtani could be the opener for that game. The team will likely continue to build him up throughout the final month of the season ahead of the playoffs. Fantasy managers might not get a ton out of Ohtani as a pitcher during September, but his return to the mound is positive.
