Shohei Ohtani Shows Encouraging Signs After IL Return

Shohei Ohtani has performed decently over his first four games since being activated off the injured list, with the Dodgers expressing optimism that his best is yet to come. Manager Dave Roberts highlighted Ohtani taking a first-pitch slider for a ball as a sign of improved plate discipline, moving away from previous chasing tendencies as the team wraps up its regular season looking for its 100th victory and prepares for the upcoming postseason run.
