Shohei Ohtani Throws Bullpen Session as He Moves Closer to Return to Mound
Dave Roberts said Ohtani threw about 20 pitches and the Dodgers will decide whether he makes a one-inning start Sunday.
- On Friday, Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani threw a bullpen session at Comerica Park before the team's series opener against the Detroit Tigers. Manager Dave Roberts noted the session was "short," lasting about 20 pitches.
- Ohtani last threw off the mound six days prior during a live batting practice session. The Dodgers continue monitoring his recovery after he last pitched against the San Diego Padres on July 3.
- Manager Roberts said he must consult with Ohtani and pitching coach Mark Prior before finalizing Sunday's decision. "Obviously I've got to talk to Shohei, talk to and then we'll make a decision for Sunday," Roberts said.
- If Ohtani starts Sunday, it will likely be for an inning ahead of Tyler Glasnow. Glasnow threw 89 pitches Tuesday in his return and is scheduled to start Sunday because he "felt good going on regular," Roberts said.
- The schedule allows Ohtani to make five starts on at least five days' rest before the season concludes. Ohtani currently has 30 homers and 80 RBIs.
