The day that the Dodgers have been waiting for since they signed Shohei Ohtani to a then-record contract is nearly here: Ohtani's first start as a pitcher in a Dodgers uniform is set for Monday night against the Padres.

Fanatics has launched the latest release from the Ohtani Signature Collection, featuring a monthly drop of limited-edition memorabilia from the Dodgers' star.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani talked to Padres third baseman Manny Machado about his checked swing during his pitching debut in Monday's game.

Dodgers are easing Ohtani back into pitching, essentially completing his rehab while in the majors. “There’s no playbook for this,” said GM Brandon Gomes.
