The Los Angeles Dodgers are off to a strong 11-5 start to their 2025 MLB campaign, and the team could be bolstered even further in the coming months with Shohei Ohtani inching closer to a return.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 11-5 to start the season and could be getting another reliable pitcher back soon. Shohei Ohtani is reportedly close to pitching again.

The Dodgers still have not announced an expected timetable for Ohtani’s pitching debut. Although the team initially hoped he’d take the mound in May, those plans changed when the three-time MVP began focusing solely on hitting late in spring training.
