Shohei Ohtani could return to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers before the All-Star break, and potentially as early as June, according to reports. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that Ohtani is set to pitch a simulated game in the coming days that could "potentially" be his last one.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have yet to see the full capabilities of Shohei Ohtani. Although that statement sounds ludicrous given a historic 2024 campaign from Ohtani that featured the first 50+ home run and 50+ stolen base season in MLB history on his way to MVP honors and a championship in his first of 10 seasons in L.

As Shohei Ohtani works towards returning to the mound, his Dodgers teammate wants him to keep another priority in mind.
