Shohei Ohtani's Flexible Spring Training Schedule with Dodgers Sparks Trust
Shohei Ohtani, preparing for his first season with the Dodgers, has been given leeway in determining his daily schedule at camp, particularly in his batting practice activities as he continues to rehabilitate from an elbow injury. The team is focused on not rushing his ramp-up for the season and is allowing Ohtani to dictate his own readiness for game participation, with the hope that he'll be ready for the season-opening series in Korea against the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers are also making adjustments to their roster and hopeful of having key relievers available for the start of the season.
