Ohtani, 30, returns after a challenging period following a left shoulder injury sustained while sliding into second base during the World Series, a season in which he didn\u2019t pitch during his first year with the Dodgers. While Roberts hopes for an early return to the mound, he has ruled Ohtani out for the opening series in Tokyo against the Chicago Cubs on March 18-19. In this video, we break down what to expect from Ohtani\u2019s spring debut, the impact of his injury, and how his performance might set the tone for the Dodgers\u2019 season.<\/p>\n<p>#Ohtani, #Dodgers, #SpringTraining, #LosAngelesAngels, #MVP, #NBA, #BaseballNews<\/p>\n<p>#MLB #Baseball #BaseballHighlights<\/p>\n<p>\u25ba Welcome to 24H ONLINE &#8211; Baseball! \u26be<\/p>\n<p>Your #1 source for everything baseball \u2013 covering the latest MLB news, in-depth game analysis, player interviews, and expert predictions.
