Ohtani goes hitless against the Angels on Tuesday night but will play again Wednesday, his first back-to-back games since elbow surgery last September.
Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani smiles in the dugout before their Cactus League game against the Angels on Tuesday night in Glendale, Ariz.
A sign that Ohtani is indeed back to 100 percent as a hitter is his schedule this week. He will play Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. It will be his first back-to-back games since last August and will be a day game after a night game – something many front-line players avoid until late in the spring.
“I think right now he’s in ‘prepare-for-the-season’ mode,” Roberts said. “Which is a good thing for all of us.” “That was the first night game in a while,” Ohtani said. “I’m still getting used to seeing with my eyes in night games but I should be there. My last at-bat felt pretty good. I got jammed a little bit. But overall … I’m pretty satisfied with the quality and the results of my at-bats.”
Ohtani said he got a lot of congratulations from his former teammates – “They’re happy for me” – but he has put that time behind him.
