Shohei Ohtani Commences Throwing Program

Shohei Ohtani has officially begun a throwing program, with manager Dave Roberts suggesting a bullpen session could occur soon. Ohtani, who last pitched on July 3, remains a central figure for the Dodgers. Additionally, reports clarified his contract's "key man" clause, noting he is unlikely to opt out if owner Mark Walter sells the team, as the clause only triggers if the club chairman or president of baseball operations departs.
