Shohei Ohtani spoke with the English media following Tuesday’s game, providing one of his most detailed updates yet on both his left knee and right biceps.
Ohtani explained that while his knee has improved significantly and no longer affects him as a hitter or baserunner the way it once did, he’s still not at 100 percent as a pitcher. He said the Dodgers are taking a cautious approach and won’t push him unless he’s completely comfortable.
The two-way star also revealed his right biceps still isn’t fully recovered, saying both injuries will continue to be monitored as the season progresses. Ohtani emphasized that the Dodgers are in a good position and there’s no reason to rush his return to the mound.
