Shohei Ohtani is making strides toward reclaiming his two-way status after undergoing UCL surgery in September 2023. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that Ohtani will face live hitters at Citi Field, marking a significant progression in his recovery. While the Dodgers are cautious not to rush him into a formal rehab assignment, Ohtani is expected to be integrated into practice with hitters, emphasizing the team's need for his batting skills. The targeted return is after the All-Star break, allowing less than two months for full preparation.
