Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani appears ready to resume his pitching duties in the coming week, marking a significant development as the Major League Baseball MVP conversation intensifies heading into the final stretch of the season.
The versatile Japanese player has been sidelined from the mound since early July, when he first dealt with inflammation in his knee. Those issues were compounded by a subsequent biceps injury that extended his absence on the pitching side of his unique two-way role.
Ohtani’s potential return to the pitcher’s mound could provide a considerable boost to the Dodgers’ rotation while simultaneously strengthening his case in what is shaping up to be a closely contested MVP race among league contenders.
