After Shohei Ohtani had surgery to repair a labrum tear, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was a bit concerned about how things would end up. However, those fears were put to rest over the weekend.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani on Friday night hit a solo home run in his first spring at-bat following offseason shoulder surgery.

Shohei Ohtani makes an impressive return to live pitching during the Dodgers' Spring Training after elbow surgery in 2023. Manager Dave Roberts expresses optimism about Ohtani's performance, hinting at his potential significant impact as a designated hitter for the upcoming season.
