The Los Angeles Dodgers sparked a frenzy Sunday evening announcing two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani will make his long-awaited first start from the mound in Dodger blue on Monday night.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani will return to the mound for the first time since 2023, with a start against the San Diego Padres on Monday in Los Angeles, the team announced.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced that Shohei Ohtani will make his return to the big league mound on Monday night against the San Diego Padres.

The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t missed a beat since winning the World Series in 2024, and now they’re set to get another major boost ahead of Monday’s matchup against NL West rival, the San Diego Padres.

Although he won the 2024 National League MVP award and helped the Dodgers win the World Series, Shohei Ohtani had only given the Dodgers half of their expected return on investment — until now.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a massive Shohei Ohtani announcement right before the game against the San Diego Padres.

Shohei Ohtani pulled up a little lame after sliding into third base during the Dodgers' win over the Padres on Wednesday.
