The Los Angeles Dodgers have been managing the absence of Shohei Ohtani on the mound for more than a month due to a lingering knee and biceps injury. This unfortunate physical setback threatens to derail his ambitious Cy Young Award campaign, which stood as one of his major goals entering the season.
The organization deliberately shut down Ohtani’s pitching program just before the All-Star break in a careful effort to manage the injury effectively. However, his rehabilitation and recovery have unfortunately progressed much more slowly than the team originally expected.
He even received a special lubricant injection in his knee to aid healing, though the results have not been as encouraging as the Dodgers had hoped. Even with these hurdles, the Dodgers remain fully confident that the Japanese superstar will resume his two-way role before the end of the season.
In fact, a potential timeline for his return to the professional mound is finally beginning to take shape within the coaching staff.
