The Los Angeles Dodgers have postponed Shohei Ohtani's live batting practice due to scheduling conflicts from day games and uncertain weather conditions. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated that the team is considering conducting this practice on Monday in San Diego, where forecasts are more favorable. Ohtani's recent session included pitching to minor league hitters, making his return to the mound eagerly anticipated. However, Roberts emphasizes the need for further preparation before Ohtani can pitch effectively.
We're thinking about Monday in San Diego with obviously the day games here, Saturday and Sunday. I think in San Diego Monday there's more certainty with weather.
His stuff's electric. The splitter's pretty legit. But it's really more than just that. He's got multiple pitches that are outliers compared to other pitchers, and so obviously, that's what makes him the player that he is.
Looking (forward), you still gotta get to five or six innings. So we still got a ways to go.
After Friday's eventual loss was delayed by rain, the forecasts aren't as favorable for an MVP looking to return to the mound.
