Shohei Ohtani discussed his recovery from knee inflammation, how he felt returning to the lineup, and whether he expects the issue to affect his upcoming pitching schedule.

In this interview, Ohtani discusses:

⚾ His current knee condition
⚾ Recovering from inflammation
⚾ Returning to the lineup
⚾ How he felt physically
⚾ Possible cause of the soreness
⚾ Whether it is related to his 2019 surgery
⚾ His upcoming pitching start
⚾ Recovery over the next few days
⚾ Confidence moving forward

Ohtani said he felt much better after receiving a day of rest.

“I feel pretty good.”

The Dodgers superstar explained that he woke up feeling better and was confident enough to return to the lineup.

Ohtani also noted that there was no single play that caused the issue, making it difficult to pinpoint an exact reason for the inflammation.

Instead, he believes it may have been connected to mechanics from his previous pitching outing.

“It’s not something that happened on one specific play.”

Despite the concern earlier in the week, Ohtani remains optimistic about his next start.

“I think I have enough time to recover and prepare.”

With several days before his next scheduled outing, Ohtani said he expects to continue recovering and moving forward without concern.
