Shohei Ohtani has no pitching timetable as Dodgers prepare for final stretch
Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers are gearing up for the final two months of the season, with several players returning from injury. Kiké Hernández has rejoined the active roster, and Edwin Díaz is expected back soon. However, manager Dave Roberts stated there is still no timetable for Shohei Ohtani's return to pitching, even as he remains healthy as a hitter. Ohtani's prolonged absence from the mound may force the Dodgers to rely on other starters as they seek to stabilize their rotation. Roberts expressed optimism about Ohtani's recovery process but acknowledged the challenges involved in his return due to the time missed.
