Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, who has not pitched this season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last September, was asked after his team's 11-9 road loss to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday if he felt he could physically pitch in the playoffs.
Per ESPN's Alden Gonzalez, Ohtani "gave a wry smile" and then said: "I am not sure."
It appears there is an ever-so-slight chance for Ohtani to pitch. Manager Dave Roberts said the chances are "very slim" but "not zero," per Gonzalez, who added this insight as well:
"Ohtani has been intermittently throwing bullpen sessions and could face hitters soon.
