Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers are navigating a complicated process as the two-way star works to resume pitching without hurting his hitting performance.

Shohei Ohtani is preparing to take the next step in the ongoing rehab of his right elbow.That step will occur on Saturday, according to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, when Ohtani will throw a bullpen session for the first time since Feb.

Shohei Ohtani will throw his first bullpen session on Saturday after the Los Angeles Dodgers' organization agreed to stop his pitching progression last month.
