Ohtani leads the NL in home runs just months after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder and is set to face hitters in a live batting practice session Sunday, his first since Tommy John revision

On the eve of Shohei Ohtani facing batters for the first time since elbow surgery in September 2023, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the two-way star likely won’t return to a major league mound until after the All-Star break.

Ohtani is scheduled to face live hitters for the first time since 2023 ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers' game against the New York Mets on Sunday. It is the next step in Ohtani's recovery from the right ulnar collateral ligament surgery he underwent in the fall of 2023.

Jordy Bahl looks like the best two-way player in college softball and might be the frontrunner for Player of the Year.

Shohei Ohtani was scheduled to face batters Saturday for the first time since he underwent a second Tommy John surgery in September 2023, but the late ending of Friday’s extra-inning win by the Dodgers at Citi Field forced the Dodgers to push it back to Sunday.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts won’t rule out a possible minor league rehabilitation start for two-way star Shohei Ohtani, who is scheduled to pitch to batters on Sunday for the first time since elbow surgery in September 2023 and could return after the All-Star break.

The gambling scandal that threatened to disrupt Shohei Ohtani's historic 2024 season before it could even begin is close to becoming a scripted series. Lionsgate TV chairman Kevin Beggs spoke about the previously announced series focused on the scandal surrounding former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara in a Q&A with The Ankler's Lesley Goldberg that published Wednesday.
