Shohei Ohtani Set to Start Wednesday for Dodgers in Six-Man Rotation Return to Mound

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani is slated to return to the mound this Wednesday to start against Cincinnati, continuing his recovery buildup from elbow surgery that sidelined him from pitching last season. Manager Dave Roberts plans for Ohtani to pitch four innings, followed by an off day before returning to hitting in a game. The Dodgers will transition to a six-man rotation, with Roberts indicating that Ohtani's pitching workload will remain limited this season as part of his rehab.
