Spring training Sho-time is set to kick off on Tuesday as the Los Angeles Dodgers gear up for their exhibition debut with two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani, who signed a record-breaking $700 million, 10-year contract during the offseason, will be taking on the role of designated hitter for the Dodgers in their upcoming game against the Chicago White Sox.
The Dodgers have been cautious with Ohtani's return to action following his right elbow surgery last September, which ruled him out as a pitcher for this season. However, the 29-year-old has been progressing well in his recovery, surpassing the team's expectations. Ohtani recently participated in live batting practice, impressing Dodgers manager Dave Roberts with his performance.
