Shohei Ohtani will get the ball on Monday night when the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Minnesota Twins, but he’s still on a short leash. The two-way star is expected to pitch just three innings before handing it over to right-hander Dustin May, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Ohtani allowed one hit and threw 31 pitches, 21 for strikes. He fanned Christian Walker, Victor Caratini and Yanier Diaz — all swinging — to conclude his latest outing as an opener as he works his way back from elbow surgery.

In his longest outing on the mound since returning from injury, ace Shohei Ohtani shut down the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, allowing just one hit and recording four strikeouts across three innings.

Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman weighs in on who he thinks the GOAT is, naturally he picks his teammate Shohei Ohtani.

Freddie Freeman hit a game-ending two-run single with two outs in the ninth inning, Shohei Ohtani hit a home run in his fifth consecutive game and the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled out a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

Shohei Ohtani didn’t hit a home run for the first time in a week, but Teoscar Hernandez did as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Boston Red Sox
