Shohei Ohtani is getting closer to a Dodgers return—but there’s one HUGE catch nobody can ignore.👀⚾
After being placed on the 15-day injured list with a left-knee injury and right-biceps issue, Ohtani has started swinging again and reportedly felt good during his first tee session. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says the team expects Ohtani to return for at least some regular-season games, but the timeline remains uncertain—and the calendar is running out fast.
The biggest catch? Ohtani will not return as the full two-way player fans were hoping for this season. He has been shut down from pitching, meaning his comeback will focus on getting his bat ready for October. With the Dodgers preparing for the postseason, every remaining game could matter as Ohtani races against the clock to get back into form.
**Ohtani is coming back—but not quite the way Dodgers fans imagined.** 🔥
