However, the condition does not appear to be serious. He played catch at Camelback Ranch on the 6th and announced that his body was fine. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, `There are no serious problems at all. You may have slept wrong."
The Sporting Tribune, a U.S. media outlet, said on the 6th 'Roberts said there was no update on Ohtani's pitching training. He hasn't had a bullpen session in nearly a week' but 'But he's not resting because there's something wrong. He is recovering from a shoulder surgery he received in November last year.
Ohtani increased the number of pitches and speed through bullpen pitching a total of four times, including live pitching. On Feb. 23, the third bullpen pitcher threw 25 pitches, and the speed on the radar gun was up to 95 miles. The speed of hitting 94 miles by throwing 14 and 21 bullpen pitchers, respectively, has risen again. In the fourth bullpen pitching on the 26th of last month, he sprayed up to 97 miles of fastballs and tested six breaking balls.

Roberts also said `I think restraint is bound to recover. Ohtani himself must have a feeling of his own ball. "I've never seen a player as competitive as Ohtani." So I expect to come back as the same pitcher as before. I look forward to pitcher Ohtani when he is healthy" he said.
Fellow pitcher Tyler Glasnow also recently appeared on a local podcast 'Chris Rose Rotation' and said "It's most interesting to see Otani's daily batting and pitching, and how he copes with his routine throughout the whole season"For example, the training aspect and what he does all week is he has to deal with, but it's really interesting to see it in person"
However, Ohtani did not throw a bullpen session for eight days until that day.
Since Dodgers left-hander Tommy John in September 1974, 2,555 pitchers have undergone Tommy John Surgery (TJS), and 162 of them have undergone the surgery twice. Ohtani received TJS in September 2023 following October 2018 when he was with the Los Angeles Angels and devoted himself to rehabilitation as a pitcher last year.

Ivaldi received TJS in May 2007 and August 2016, respectively. Since then, he returned to the game in 2018 and recorded 53 wins and 35 losses with a 3.94 ERA in 148 games in seven seasons until last year. The former career high was 14-3 with a 4.20 ERA in 2015.
Tyyon received two TJSs in April 2014 and August 2019, going 42-29 with a 4.29 ERA in 118 games since his second surgery. Tyyon, who had 14 wins and 10 losses and a 3.20 ERA in 2018, boasted his unwavering pitching with 12 wins and 8 losses and a 3.27 ERA last year.
Ohtani, unlike ordinary pitchers, has to play as a designated hitter, so he doesn't have a chance to go down to the minor leagues and check the game. It is expected that he will play live pitching against his team's batters while moving with the team.
