Dodgers' Dave Roberts Announces Shohei Ohtani News Before Padres Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been hammered by injuries to their pitching staff. Among others, starting pitchers Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki are on the injured list.

Shohei Ohtani was back on the mound Tuesday as he ramps up his return to pitching in an MLB game. By most accounts, he looked pretty good. Including that of Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who didn't rule out a return to the mount for Ohtani before the All-Star break. Though that still sounds like a long shot.

Dave Roberts didn't rule out Shohei Ohtani being ahead of schedule after he pitched three simulated innings on Tuesday.
