The Los Angeles Dodgers are continuing to slowly build up Shohei Ohtani as a pitcher.
At this point, the Dodgers feel that any innings they can get from Ohtani is a bonus since he doesn’t count toward one of the 13 pitchers allowed on the team’s active roster.

Ohtani threw just one inning in each of his first two starts. In his most recent start last Saturday, he pitched two innings against the Kansas City Royals.
