Shohei Ohtani returned to pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday after a long injury layoff. In his first inning, he threw 28 pitches, allowing two hits and one run. Despite this, Ohtani also played as the designated hitter, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs in the Dodgers' 6-3 win. This appearance marked the continuation of Ohtani's pitching rehab, with the Dodgers planning more starts for him. Ohtani's two-way ability makes him unique in the sport, having previously achieved impressive offensive and pitching statistics.
