Overview

• Ohtani threw 44 pitches across three simulated innings on June 10 at Petco Park, generating 15 whiffs and six strikeouts against minor-league hitters
• Dave Roberts described the chance of Ohtani pitching before the All-Star break as “north of zero” while emphasizing the team’s patient approach to his rehab
• Los Angeles has 14 pitchers on the injured list, prompting frequent bullpen games and multiple minor-league call-ups to fill rotation slots
• Two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell completed his first full bullpen session since April and Tyler Glasnow also threw his third rehab bullpen, showing parallel recovery progress
• Ohtani’s two-way player status allows his mound appearances to bypass the 13-pitcher roster limit, effectively adding an extra arm once he rejoins the rotation
