Los Angeles – Shohi Ohtani Pitching for Los Angeles Dojers in May is about right, Manager Dave Roberts said at the team’s annual fan festival on Saturday.
He reiterated Ohtani in the Japanese series of season-opening Japan against Chicago cub in Tokyo on 18–19 March.
The two-way superstar has not picked in Major since August 2023, while he was with Los Angeles Angels. The right -handed player urged him on his left shoulder on 5 November after disliked a theft basis in Game 2 of the World Series against New York Yankis on his left shoulder.
“He looks really strong,” Roberts said. “I recently watched some videos and you will not think now that this winter had a shoulder surgery in this winter.”
Dozers begin to report at the spring camp in Arizona on 10 February.
“So far, it seems that I am on the schedule,” Ohtani said through a translator. “I have been able to work every day and I am really eager to stay on time for spring training and weather.”
However, Ohtani said that he could not do when he would take the mound.
“Shiner surgery is a complex surgery compared to the elbow,” he said, referring to his right elbow surgery in September 2023. “I had to work on the range of speed. Labram has some residual effects.”
Ohtani said that she would know more after throwing her first bullying session.
“I think we are really going to feel when I will be able to stay on a big league mound,” he said.
Freddy Freeman
World series MVP Freddy Freeman said that he had started killing this week for the first time after an ankle surgery on 5 December. The first Basman had partially shut down the cartilage, which floated in his Akilis tendon just above his ankle.
“It was a very bad injury,” he said.
The Freeman has not yet been started running and does not think he will appear in the early spring training games. “As of now, I am on track to be able to play in Tokyo,” he said.
Clayton Care
Clayton Korshav has begun the progression of throwing and he and the team are in touch to finalize a contract for the upcoming season.
The three -time Sai Young Award winner, who turned 37 next month, performed legs and knee surgery on 7 November. His season ended quickly due to a left to -finger injury, which never improved and kept him out of Postsen.
A few days before operation, he rejected his player option for this year and became a free agent.
Kick hernandez
The fans of the Dojers registered their support to bring back the Utilityman Kike Hernandez by chanting their names during the Fan Fest.
General Manager Brandon Gomes indicated that the team was still considering signing it.
“Obviously, we have never closed the kick door,” Gomes said. “A lot is making sure that he and his family feel that this is the best position for him. We will have those conversations. ,
Roberts Extension
Gomes said that Roberts is going to the final season of his current contract and the team is talking to him about an expansion.
He last signed a three -year deal with the team in March 2022. He won the NL Manager of the Year Honors in 2016, which was his first season with Dozers. Roberts has a regular season record of 851-506 and the team has been taken to the posts every year since joining the team. He has won four NL Penents and two World Series titles.
Roberts were heavily criticized after the loss of the first round playoffs in 2022 and 2023. But it was reduced by overcoming a group of injuries and then by defeating Yankise in the World Series last year.
“It’s good to be liked,” he said.
