Recently, the Los Angeles Dodgers decided to halt Shohei Ohtani’s throwing program as he continues to recover from left shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n

Although Ohtani has participated in three throwing sessions this spring, he will not face hitters until after the team returns from Japan.<\/p>\n

\"Dodgers'<\/p>\n

This decision comes as the team prepares for its season-opening series in Tokyo on March 18, where Ohtani is expected to play as a designated hitter.<\/p>\n

Manager Dave Roberts has ruled out the possibility of Ohtani pitching in this series but hopes he will return to the mound soon.<\/p>\n

Ohtani made an impressive spring debut recently, hitting a home run in his first at-bat since recovering from shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n

He missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery but had a standout 2023 season, leading the National League with 54 home runs and 130 RBIs.<\/p>\n

He also achieved 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single season, earning his third MVP award.<\/p>\n

Pausing Ohtani’s throwing program ensures he has sufficient time for a full recovery before returning to the mound while allowing him to focus on contributing as a designated hitter in the early part of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
