Shohei Ohtani enters the final phase of his throwing progression, aiming to bolster the Los Angeles Dodgers rotation before the postseason begins.

Skubal and Yamamoto are locks for the postseason rotation. Snell is likely to get a postseason rotation spot as well. From there, the Dodgers could piggyback Glasnow with Ohtani as their "fourth" starter. We're getting ahead of ourselves, though. The postseason is more than six weeks away and a lot -- A LOT -- can change between now and then.

Nightengale thinks Shohei Ohtani will get plenty of accolades this season, even though he hasn't pitched in a game for weeks.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A dominant fastball has made Jacob Misiorowski one of the most exciting pitchers in baseball over the past two seasons, but it was an effective slider that helped him get out of a bases-loaded jam by striking out Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman in the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

Beyond the staggering 10 years and $700 million on Shohei Ohtani’s then-record contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers was a key-man clause that tied his future to that of owner Mark Walter and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.

A potential grand slam from Max Muncy that got turned into a double play is part of the memorable history between Dodgers and Brewers.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Hunter Feduccia homered, and the revitalized Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Kansas City Royals with a 4-2 victory Wednesday night. Freddie Freeman stayed in the game for LA after a scary moment in the eighth inning when he fell down the Royals’ dugout stairs while trying to catch Isaac Collins’ foul popup.

Ohtani's contract includes a “key man” clause tying him both to Mark Walter and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.
