The Los Angeles Dodgers are pumping the brakes on Shohei Ohtani's return to the mound.
On Thursday, The Athletic reported Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Ohtani's progress has been slowed a bit to give him a break. Ohtani is still working his way back from a hybrid Tommy John surgery he had in September 2023, as well as offseason surgery on the labrum in his non-throwing shoulder.
