Dodgers News: Shohei Ohtani Unlikely To Pitch At Start Of 2025 Season
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers are optimistic about Shohei Ohtani's recovery after his shoulder surgery, deciding to prioritize his health over his immediate return to pitching.
General manager Brandon Gomes emphasized a cautious approach, stating that Ohtani's rehab will be monitored closely, advising not to rush the process, ensuring each benchmark is safely met.
Despite having to go through surgery, Ohtani's hitting abilities remain unaffected. His injury was to the non-throwing shoulder, which mitigates potential drops in his batting power.
