CINCINNATI -- Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani left the mound accompanied by a trainer during the fourth inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.
Ohtani threw six straight balls -- including two consecutive wild pitches -- and, after a conference on the mound, departed with a 2-0 count against Spencer Steer.
It was Ohtani's seventh mound start in his comeback from his second Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, which occurred after the 2023 season. He did not pitch at all last season, his first for the Dodgers after signing a 10-year, $700 million contract, but he starred at designated hitter and won his third MVP award.
