Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Unlikely to Pitch Until After All-Star Break, Says Dave Roberts
""From what I hear, he was ramping it up a little bit more with the velocity. Just from talking to the trainers I think that's a good sign, that there's a little bit more intensity going on there.""
""It's going to be a week by week [process]. We have a general sense, we've got to make sure that he's feeling good and we're being smart so we can't lose the offensive side of it as well.""
Shohei Ohtani, despite his injury, is progressing in his rehabilitation as he continues regular bullpen sessions, reaching a velocity of 95 mph. Manager Dave Roberts indicates Ohtani won’t pitch until after the All-Star break. The team is focused on ensuring Ohtani's return for the postseason while balancing the demands on the bullpen amid dwindling starter innings. GM Brandon Gomes stresses a cautious, individualized approach to Ohtani's rehabilitation, acknowledging the unique nature of his two-way talent and the challenges facing the Dodgers' pitching staff.
