Unexpected Setback Threatens Ohtani’s Highly Anticipated Comeback—What Went Wrong?
The other headline that I alluded to in the NL West was in direct relation to tonight’s starting pitcher. Before we get there, let’s talk a bit about the Dodgers. They don’t have the best record in the league, but they are in first place, and that’s probably where they will be all season. Los Angeles is 14 games over .500, and as they get healthier, they should get even better. Their pitching staff has been the biggest question mark all year, but they are getting some pitchers back soon, including the one tonight. Shohei Ohtani is taking the mound for the first time since 2023. Remember, this man won a World Series and MVP award all while rehabbing so he can pitch. Ohtani was a potential Cy Young winner a few years back. While he won’t likely compete for the award this season, it will be interesting to see how good he can be this year. I fully expect Ohtani to have three or fewer innings tonight. That means this is likely to be a bullpen game.Â
