7 years agoUpdating a previous report, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) was able to play catch from 60 feet on Thursday after being cleared to throw by Dr. Steve Yoon. Ohtani hasn't pitched since June 6 as he has battled a UCL injury. While there's still a chance Ohtani undergoes Tommy John surgery, there's also a possibility that with rest and rehab, he'll be able to pitch again in September. In his rookie season, Ohtani has pitched to a 4-1 record with a 3.10 ERA and a 61/20 K/BB ratio. Ohtani will continue to DH for the rest of the season and still needs to be owned in all leagues. There's now subdued optimism that he'll be able to return to the mound, however, it wouldn't come until the last month of the regular season. He seems to be in the right direction, but Ohtani still has no set timetable to start pitching again.--Dan Fappiano

1 week agoIn the Los Angeles Dodgers' 6-3 win over the Chicago Cubs to conclude the two-game Tokyo Series, designated hitter Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and two RBI for his first round-tripper of the 2025 season. The 30-year-old two-way Japanese superstar went 3-for-8 with a double, home run and three runs scored in L.A.'s two-game sweep of the Cubs. After becoming baseball's first-ever player to hit 50-plus home runs and steal 50-plus bases in a single season, Ohtani's home run in Tokyo will be the first of many for the Dodgers and fantasy managers. In addition to his 54 homer and 59 stolen bases in 2024, he had a league-high 130 RBI and 134 runs and also led in on-base percentage (.390), slugging percentage (.646) and OPS (1.036) in 159 regular-season games. It's why Ohtani was probably the first player taken in your fantasy draft.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

1 week agoLos Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani was the center of attention throughout this week in Japan, as he and the World Series champion Dodgers opened the season with a two-game series against the Cubs. On Tuesday morning, he delivered a solid performance in his team's 4-1 victory, going two-for-five with a pair of runs scored and a double. He scored the go-ahead run in the fifth inning on an error and doubled and scored an insurance run in the ninth inning. While he didn't homer or steal a base, it was still a solid start to the regular season for the reigning MVP, who looks poised to be an absolute fantasy beast again this season.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

3 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow, shoulder) last threw a bullpen session in camp on Feb. 25. He continues to play catch, but manager Dave Roberts said on Thursday that the team is giving Ohtani "a little respite" from ramping up as a pitcher as he ramps up as a hitter for the start of the 2025 regular season this month. The 30-year-old right-hander won't face live hitters before the team leaves for the two-game season-opening series in Tokyo, Japan, on March 18 and 19 against the Chicago Cubs, and it's to be determined on how it will impact his timeline. Ohtani didn't pitch at all in 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery and then had surgery last fall on his left (non-throwing) shoulder. The Dodgers aren't rushing him at all to make his 2025 debut on the mound, which isn't expected to come until sometime in May. As a hitter, though, he should be the first player off the board in fantasy drafts.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

4 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow, shoulder) will make his Cactus League debut on Friday against his former team, the Los Angeles Angels, according to the Los Angeles Times' Jack Harris. Ohtani, who had surgery in November to fix the labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder, will serve as the designated hitter and will be ready to go as a hitter for the March 18 opener in Tokyo, Japan, against the Chicago Cubs. The 30-year-old three-time MVP didn't pitch at all in 2024 in his first year with the Dodgers after having Tommy John surgery, and he's unlikely to make his 2025 debut on the mound until early May. Ohtani's right elbow certainly didn't give him problems at the plate last year, as he clubbed over 50 homers and stole over 50 bases to make major-league history. As a DH, the Japanese sensation will be the first player off the board in most fantasy drafts.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
