Ohtani won't overdo his intensity as he ramps up for a return to pitching: “It’s gonna be more about touching the slope."

The Dodgers are hopeful that the real challenge for Shohei Ohtani this year won’t be about his health, but rather his process of re-acclimating to the two-way role that made him a superstar.

Shohei Ohtani is expected to throw his first bullpen session this weekend as he returns from the elbow injury that prevented him from pitching in his first year with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.
