Shohei Ohtani won National League MVP and was part of the World Series championship lineup last season, but he's also been recovering from major elbow surgery since late 2023. The former two-way superstar is nearing a return to being a current two-way superstar.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said earlier this week that Shohei Ohtani's chances of returning to the mound before the All-Star Game were "north of zero," and Ohtani supported that statement on Saturday.

Ohtani hit two homers against the Giants, emphatically reaching 25 homers for the fifth consecutive season during Los Angeles’ 11-5 victory over San Francisco.
