Autani It will be the starting jug for Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night against San Diego PadresAfter 21 months of the star in two directions, she underwent surgery in the elbow.
The evaders issued this announcement after Sunday night 5-4 Win over San Francisco giants. Ohtani is likely to be used as an editorial because the Western National League leaders start from four games against the visiting Padres.
Utani has not been in a game since August 23, 2023, when he was injured during the beginning Los Angeles angels against Centuti Reds. Tommy John surgery was performed on October 1, 2018, and he recovered from the right elbow surgery on September 19, 2023.
In the second season of a contract worth $ 700 million, for 10 years, he temporarily stopped his work after a hill session on February 25 to prepare for the opening day as a speculative, then bulls began on March 29 and beating on March 25.

On Sunday, Roberts Rul Rocky Sasaki It seems likely to be marginalized for a long time. With Sasaki (right shoulder injury), Blake Senil (Left shoulder inflammation) and Tyler Glasno (Right shoulder inflammation) in the affected menu, evading bullan games resorted to.
Sasaki has not launched a game since May 9 and is not part of the long -term team plans for this season.
“I think this is what the mentality should be,” said Roberts before the match. “It was certain that moving to this environment was a great pledge for him, and now you put a layer in the healthy part and the fact that it is the starting jug, and knowing what it requires accumulation (required to return) … I think this is the wise way to do this.”
Sasaki, 23, went 1-1 with 4.72 in eight games after joining the Chiba Lot Infantry in the Pacific League, with an average of less than 4 1/3 roles in the beginning. He walked 22 and hit 24 in 34/3 floors, and the average fast ball was 95.7 miles per hour, a decrease of 3-4 miles per hour from its average in Japan.
Roberts said Sasaki was painful when he resumed throwing in early June, but a jug was closed after feeling uncomfortable last week. Sasaki recently received cortisone injection into the shoulder. Roberts said that more scanning operations are not planned, “said Roberts.
“I don’t think it’s pain,” said Roberts. “I don’t know if this is discomfort, and if it is narrow, and if he does not feel strength, whatever the characteristic you want to use. This is more than a question for Rocky, as much as he feels.
“He does not feel that he is able to intensify him, and we will not push him to do something that he does not feel well now.”
