The Los Angeles Dodgers have treated Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound as a long-term play for months, preaching caution at every turn as baseball’s lone two-way star returned from a second major elbow ligament reconstruction.
Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani made MLB history in Saturday's win over the San Francisco Giants, as he reached 25+ home runs, 10+ stolen bases, and 5+ triples before July for the second time in his career.
Interestingly, the home runs come after the longest home run drought for Ohtani with the Dodgers. He had gone 10 games without a long ball. The last time that happened for him came in 2023 with the Angels .
Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is among 12 active Japanese MLB players that will be celebrated with custom manhole covers in Japan.
