The ramping up process with Shohei Ohtani as a starting pitcher continues to evolve. Since coming back to the mound, the Dodgers understandably have been limiting the 31-year-old in terms of work load.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts shared an update after two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani returned to the mound on his 31st birthday. Ohtani delivered two scoreless innings against the Astros in Game 2. It was his fourth career start this season since coming off Tommy John surgery full-time in 2023.
