Shohei Ohtani Nears Return to Dodgers Pitching Rotation

Shohei Ohtani is nearing a return to the mound as he recovers from a left knee injury and subsequent bicep issues that have sidelined him since July 3. Manager Dave Roberts indicated Ohtani could begin pitching as early as next week. While his return to the rotation is imminent, Ohtani continues to be a focal point for daily performance prop bets, maintaining his status as a top-tier slugger for the Dodgers throughout his recovery process.
