Shohei Ohtani Ramps Up Activities by Hitting Off Tee After IL Stint

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day IL retroactive to September 8 after he aggravated his right biceps and left knee. Ohtani began ramping up baseball activities by hitting off a tee Tuesday in Los Angeles, marking his first hitting since his IL placement. Shut down from pitching for the year, he slumped to 6-for-52 before his injury but is eligible to return for the final five regular season games on September 23.
