Shohei Ohtani is edging closer to pitching again, but the Dodgers remain cautious about rushing him back. Days after welcoming his first child, Ohtani returned with the team on Sunday for the series finale against Texas.

Shohei Ohtani, struggling since returning from the paternity list and slumping even before that, can't get the key hit as Dodgers lose to Cubs.

Shohei Ohtani played catch over the weekend and is expected to have a light bullpen session as he nears a return to pitching.
