Los Angeles Angels manager Brad Ausmus declined to give an exact timetable for the return of two-way star Shohei Ohtani, but said he probably will be ready to hit for the team "sometime in May."
During his first meeting with the media at spring training, Ausmus said Ohtani has begun to take some dry swings in the batting cage as he works his way back following Tommy John surgery.
"I'm not going to put a date on it, but we're thinking sometime in May," Ausmus said of Ohtani's possible return date.
