The Dodgers will get Ohtani back, and he sports a 38-19 career record in 86 MLB starts, all with the Angels. He boasts a 3.01 ERA and a WHIP of 1.082. Ohtani is not expected to be ready to pitch to open the season, but he should be back at some point early in the year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have received a major update regarding Shohei Ohtani’s return to pitching, and it fits right into their long-term game plan. Ohtani, who had a second major elbow surgery, hasn’t thrown a pitch since August 2023.
