Natasha Desai, MD, a sports medicine specialist with NYU Langone Health’s Center for Women's Sports Medicine, joins Brandon London for the weekly ‘Injury Report’ segment to explain the recovery process for Giants star Dexter Lawrence’s dislocated left elbow.
Baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani likely won’t be ready to pitch for the Dodgers by Opening Day in Japan.
The Dodgers are opening their 2025 season with a two-game series against the Cubs at the Tokyo Dome beginning on March 18. Roberts said it was “very unlikely” the two-way player would be ready to take the mound on Opening Day. Ohtani hasn’t pitched since 2023 when he was still with the Angels and underwent an elbow surgery in September of that year, which prevented him from pitching in his first year with the Dodgers.
Los Angeles is preparing to be cautious with Ohtani once he does get back on the mound, Roberts said.
