Shohei Ohtani leaves mound with trainer after throwing 6 straight balls, including 2 wild pitches

CINCINNATI, OHIO, JUL 30 – Ohtani exited after throwing six straight balls including two wild pitches in his seventh mound start since returning from elbow surgery, pitching 3+ innings with 4 strikeouts.

  • Shohei Ohtani left the pitching mound with a Dodgers trainer partway through the fourth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds.
  • Ohtani returned after his second Tommy John surgery following the 2023 season and had been gradually increasing his innings pitched.
  • In his seventh start back, Ohtani threw 51 pitches, including six consecutive balls with two wild pitches, and exited the game during an at-bat.
  • He allowed two earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts and 32 strikes before leaving; reports confirmed he remained in the dugout post-removal.
  • The Dodgers likely removed Ohtani as a precaution given his recent rehab, and his remaining in the dugout reduces concerns of a serious injury.
