Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani will make his long-awaited return to the mound on Monday night against the San Diego Padres (GameTracker). Ohtani's outing will represent his first since Aug.

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.

In the last season that he pitched in 2023, Ohtani had a 3.13 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP and a 10-5 record, helping him earn a second AL MVP.

Nezza explained the official "Star Spangled Banner" translation in Spanish was commissioned by President Franklin Roosevelt to build a better relationship with Latin America.

Latin-R&B singer Nezza made a stand at Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers game, singing “The Star Spangled Banner” in Spanish, even though she said she had been warned not to, going into the performance.

Harrison has surrendered eight earned runs on 13 hits and three walks across 9 1/3 innings over his past two starts, while May has been sharp at home for the Dodgers. The Los Angeles starter has a tidy 2.97 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across his six home starts, and May has recorded 5+ strikeouts in five of the six with 10.0 K/9 and a 27.2 strikeout rate.

The Giants have been listed as +152 moneyline underdogs in this matchup with the Dodgers (-182).

Shohei Ohtani has hit two homers against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night, emphatically ending the three-time MVP's longest homer drought since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers.
