The fantasy of Shohei Ohtani returning to the mound in the 2024 World Series will remain just that, if the Los Angeles Dodgers are to be believed.
Speaking at World Series media day, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said there is "no possibility" of Ohtani pitching against the New York Yankees over the next week and a half, according to ESPN's Alden Gonzalez.
It's not the first time Roberts has shot down the possibility of Ohtani pitching in this year's playoffs. Ohtani was expected to appear only as a hitter in 2024 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn UCL last season.
