The Los Angeles Dodgers are managing Shohei Ohtani's return as a pitcher cautiously, aiming for a potential 2025 comeback. Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes the need to prioritize Ohtani's development as a designated hitter while navigating an unclear timeline for his pitching. Team president Stan Kasten reassures fans that there is no urgency to rush Ohtani back, as the team's depth allows them to focus on the overarching goal of success in October. Ohtani's previous record-setting performance, hitting over 50 home runs and stealing 50 bases, reflects the importance of his contributions, pending a careful recovery process.
"Where he is now is approximately where he should be, where he is expected to be. I think we have enough of a cushion that we don't have to rush him because of all the players we have."
"I think we have enough guys, we are deep enough that we're gonna be really good, everything that we do is aiming for October... that's gonna be great, that's gonna be fine..."
