Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has hinted at the possibility of Shohei Ohtani returning to pitch during the postseason, although he has not pitched this year due to recovery from UCL surgery. Ohtani is having a historic offensive season as the team's designated hitter, with 47 home runs and 48 stolen bases, aiming to become the first player to achieve 50 in both categories. While Roberts remains optimistic about Ohtani's rehab, he noted that the odds of a pitching return this season are slim. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are facing pitching challenges with Tyler Glasnow experiencing setbacks in his recovery from elbow tendinitis. Ohtani has begun a throwing program and could potentially contribute in a limited capacity if all conditions align. The Dodgers are in a strong position in the standings, emphasizing the significance of Ohtani's potential return to the mound for October's playoffs.
