Dodgers Predicted to Cut Ties With All-Star After Shohei Ohtani News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When Shohei Ohtani returns to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers, there will be some decisions that have to be made by the front office.

Shohei Ohtani could return to a major league mound in the next two weeks, but Dodgers rookie Roki Sasaki is set for a lengthy layoff.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Sunday that Ohtani will throw another simulated game in the coming days that could "potentially" be his last one.

Interestingly, the home runs come after the longest home run drought for Ohtani with the Dodgers. He had gone 10 games without a long ball. The last time that happened for him came in 2023 with the Angels .

Shohei Ohtani hit two homers and Clayton Kershaw pitched seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 11-5 victory over the San Francisco Giants.

Shohei Ohtani has hit two homers against the Giants on Saturday, ending his longest HR drought since joining the Dodgers.

After enduring a 10-game stretch without a home run dating back to June 2, Shohei Ohtani ended the long ball drought in a big way, belting two round-trippers in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 11-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.
