Shohei Ohtani's anticipated pitching debut with the Dodgers has been postponed as the organization prioritizes his health and readiness. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani and the team's medical staff chose to slow his pitching program, resulting in no timeline for when he will throw again. Ohtani, who has only seen limited action as a designated hitter this spring, will not rush back to the mound. With a stable pitching rotation, the Dodgers can afford to be patient while waiting for Ohtani's return.
Ohtani's service as a designated hitter remains intact while the Dodgers manage his pitching timeline carefully, balancing workload as they await his return to the mound.
We just felt that to intensify the bullpens alongside of the intensity of the games (as DH) wasn't smart, so we just wanted to kind of slow-play it.
