Ohtani made his long-awaited Dodgers pitching debut last night against the San Diego Padres, going one inning with one earned run allowed on two hits, zero strikeouts, and zero walks.

Shohei Ohtani could return to a major league mound in the next two weeks but Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki has paused his throwing program and is set for a lengthy layoff.

While Ohtani won't be throwing deep into the game, just his presence on the mound figures to bolster a staff that has been decimated by injuries.
