Ohtani Throws 30 Pitches in BP | MLB News

Shohei Ohtani took a major step forward Saturday, throwing 30 pitches in live BP against teammate Will Smith and ending with a thumbs-up—signaling progress as he recovers from knee soreness sidelined since July. Manager Dave Roberts is optimistic, saying Ohtani could pitch in a few days if healthy, with plans to ease him back into full starts by October’s World Series push, starting with short stints. Meanwhile, Tyler Glasnow returns to the rotation Tuesday after missing months with back spasms, while injuries mount: Andy Pages (fractured hand) is headed for surgery, Edwin Díaz (neck inflammation) is resting to rebuild confidence before returning as closer, and Alek Thomas is recalled to fill Pages’ void, likely patrolling center against righties as the Dodgers navigate roster challenges.
