Shohei Ohtani moved another step closer to pitching again this season for the Angels when he threw a 33-pitch pregame bullpen session Monday.
It was the second pitching workout in three days for the right-hander, and his first time throwing to a catcher in a squat since his last game action on the mound June 6. Ohtani has been held back from pitching by a sprained right elbow, though the two-way rookie has been a regular in the Angels' lineup at designated hitter.
