Shohei Ohtani Set for Tuesday Pitching Debut

Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to make his 2026 pitching debut on Tuesday night against the Guardians at Dodger Stadium. This marks a return to the mound for Ohtani, who underwent his second Tommy John surgery in 2023 and did not pitch in 2024. The Dodgers are looking forward to a full two-way season from their star. Additionally, recent reports noted an incident involving Ohtani's cup, which surfaced in broader MLB news updates.
