It will be a while before Shohei Ohtani is pitching in a major league game again. On Thursday, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Jim Rome that Ohtani's recovery from Tommy John surgery is ongoing. While he gave a lot of positive updates, there was a negative tossed in at the end.

Ohtani has not pitched since August of 2023 when he tore his UCL while with the Los Angeles Angels. Roberts was a bit more optimistic about Ohtani's timeline this offseason, saying that he could be back on the mound by May.

Shohei Ohtani is one of the most unique, talented baseball players of his generation. Coined as the modern-day Babe Ruth due to his two-way abilities as a hitter and pitcher, Ohtani has soared past Ruth's two-way accomplishments.
