The Los Angeles Dodgers are carefully managing superstar Shohei Ohtani's return to pitching.

Manager Dave Roberts indicated that Ohtani's pitching schedule will involve twice-weekly sessions to create a routine resembling a big league starter's. However, there is still considerable progress needed before he faces live hitters, with a likely return to pitching in June at the earliest, allowing him to maintain his role as DH in the meantime.
