Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani throws first bullpen session of spring

Shohei Ohtani threw his first bullpen session of spring training, aiming to pitch again since 2023, according to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Ohtani has not pitched since August 23, 2023, following elbow surgery that restricted him to a hitting role in 2024 and shoulder surgery later.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed hope that Ohtani would be cleared to pitch 'sooner than later.'
Ohtani signed a 10-year contract with the Dodgers for $700 million, the richest in U.S. Sports history.
