Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Sunday that Ohtani will throw another simulated game in the coming days that could "potentially" be his last one.

In the last season that he pitched in 2023, Ohtani had a 3.13 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP and a 10-5 record, helping him earn a second AL MVP. Unfortunately, his season on the mound was cut short as he underwent surgery for a UCL tear in his right elbow in September. Since then, he's been on the road to recovery.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani will make his return to pitching during his team's game against the National League West rival San Diego Padres Monday (June 16) night, the team announced on its X account Sunday (June 15) night.
