Shohei Ohtani Advances Toward Return to Mound for Dodgers

Shohei Ohtani, the two-way star for the Los Angeles Dodgers, made significant progress on Friday by completing a 34-pitch bullpen session, utilizing his full array of pitches.

This session was his first since July 22, when he was in Philadelphia. Following that date, Ohtani had to pause throwing due to a setback related to his sore left knee, along with issues concerning his right biceps.

Ohtani emphasized the importance of not rushing his recovery, stating that he prefers to ensure that he is making the right progress as he moves forward.
