Los Angeles Dodgers fans waiting to see Shohei Ohtani show off the other half of his game will likely have to wait at least a month into the season.
Speaking at the team's FanFest, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated the reigning NL MVP will make his return as a pitcher in May, responding "sounds about right" when asked about Ohtani pitching in that move per The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya.
Roberts reportedly declined to provide any specific date, but said Ohtani's rehab was going "pretty smooth" and the team would know more once he was throwing bullpens.
