Shohei Ohtani gave up five earned runs and nine hits in four innings before leaving due to a right thigh contusion from a 93 mph line drive, Dodgers hopeful for his return.
- On August 20, 2025, Shohei Ohtani made his debut as a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a game held at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies.
- Ohtani entered the season recovering from elbow surgery and did not pitch in 2024, making this his 10th start with a 3.47 ERA before the game.

- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted that the line drive struck Ohtani’s thigh, narrowly missing his knee bone. Ohtani pitched through the fourth inning and had a plate appearance in the fifth before leaving the game, as the Dodgers fell 8-3 to the Rockies.
- Ohtani's outing included his most earned runs allowed since July 2022, and the loss marked the Dodgers' sixth in 10 games amid the Rockies’ unexpected momentum.
