Dodgers hold no plans to end Shohei Ohtani pitching recovery

The Los Angeles Dodgers are not currently considering shutting down Shohei Ohtani from his return to the mound. Ohtani has not pitched for the team since July 3, initially held back due to biceps and knee issues. While he was scheduled to begin a buildup in big-league games recently, that return was postponed after he did not feel fully recovered during a bullpen session. Despite reports of a decline in his hitting production since resuming these throwing sessions, team leadership maintains there have been no discussions about halting his pitching progression. Andrew Friedman confirmed the organization is monitoring his status day by day, prioritizing a thoughtful approach to his return. The team remains committed to getting Ohtani back into a game but has not set a specific timeline for his comeback.
