Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani will make his return to pitching during his team’s game against the National League West rival San Diego Padres Monday (June 16) night, the team announced on its X account Sunday (June 15) night.
“Shohei Ohtani will be the starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers tomorrow night against the San Diego Padres,” the Dodgers wrote.
Ohtani, 30, underwent a second repair on his ulnar collateral ligament 21 months ago, which forced him to be shut down as a pitcher for the entire 2024 MLB season, having still won the National League MVP leading all NL hitters with 54 home runs, 130 RBIs, .646 slugging percentage, 1.066 OPS and .412 on base percentage, as well as a .310 batting average, while winning his first World Series during his first season with the Dodgers.
