Shohei Ohtani, arguably the biggest one-of-a-kind talent in baseball history, will finally get to showcase his skills on the pitching mound for the Dodgers.

Instead of throwing another live batting practice session this week, Ohtani will pitch an inning or two on Monday against the Padres, marking his first game action on the mound since elbow surgery

The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t missed a beat since winning the World Series in 2024, and now they’re set to get another major boost ahead of Monday’s matchup against NL West rival, the San Diego Padres.
