Shohei Ohtani has begun his return to pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers, making two starts as an opener, with each lasting one inning. In his debut against the San Diego Padres, he allowed one earned run but improved in his second outing against the Washington Nationals, throwing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts. Manager Dave Roberts expressed caution regarding Ohtani's ramp-up as a starter this season, noting that the unique circumstances surrounding Ohtani could prevent a full build-up, particularly with the team facing injuries in their pitching staff.
I think we're always gonna be cautious. So I don't even know what that's going to look like, to be 'fully built-up.'
