Shohei Ohtani throws bullpen session as he moves closer to return to mound
DETROIT (AP) --- Shohei Ohtani threw a short bullpen session on Friday as the
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star moves closer to a return to the mound.
"I think it was like 20 pitches," manager Dave Roberts said before the Dodgers
started a series against the Detroit Tigers. "I really don't know what to make
of it. I didn't put eyes on it.
"Obviously, I've got to talk to Shohei, talk to (pitching coach) Mark (Prior),
and then we'll make a decision for Sunday."
Ohtani has not pitched since July 3 because of a left knee injury. The
right-hander is 8-2 with a 1.79 ERA and 95 strikeouts in 85 2/3 innings this
season. He has continued to start at designated hitter and is batting .285 with
30 homers and 80 RBIs.
