The Los Angeles Dodgers are taking a cautious approach with Shohei Ohtani's recovery following shoulder surgery on his non-throwing arm. Ohtani underwent a procedure to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, an injury sustained during the World Series. This comes after he missed the entire season due to elbow surgery.
General manager Brandon Gomes emphasized the importance of a gradual rehabilitation process, focusing on incremental progress rather than setting specific timelines. Ohtani's remarkable performance in the 2024 season, where he achieved a rare feat of 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, has raised expectations for his return.
