“Is Ohtani’s Comeback Imminent? Dodgers Hold Their Breath After Stunning Bullpen Session!”

The Dodgers haven’t yet determined a timetable for Ohtani’s return to the mound. However, manager Dave Roberts said the plan is to get him on a regular throwing schedule. With that, Ohtani would throw again Thursday.

“It’s a week, but then there’s also the one in between, where he touches the mound on a Thursday,” Roberts said, via MLB.com. “And I think it’s just more trying to keep him on a similar seven-day program, and what the schedule would look [like] going out and build from there.”

If this were spring training, Ohtani would likely throw every two to three days. But he’s not quite there yet as he builds himself up after offseason shoulder surgery and an elbow procedure in September 2023. Ohtani has not faced live batters yet in his recovery.
