Jun 16, 2025; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (17) throws against the San Diego Padres during the first inning at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images After pitching for the first time in nearly two years on Monday, the Los Angeles Dodgers will give right-hander Shohei Ohtani his second start Sunday at home against the Washington Nationals.
Expected to go just one, or possibly two innings, in his Dodgers pitching debut against the San Diego Padres, a rusty Ohtani needed 28 pitches to get through his one inning. He gave up one run on two hits with no walks or strikeouts while facing five batters.
Crushed by injuries to its starting staff, Los Angeles welcomed back left-hander Clayton Kershaw last month, while Ohtani and right-hander Emmet Sheehan have returned this week. Ohtani, 30, has been on the mend from Tommy John revision surgery in September of 2023.
On Monday, Ohtani’s fastest pitch was 100.2 mph to Padres No. 2 hitter Luis Arraez. He threw three other fastballs at 99.1 mph.
“I was aiming to sit 95, 96, but the game intensity really allowed me to throw a little harder and I was able to adjust back to be able to throw 95, 96 against (Xander) Bogaerts in the last at-bat,” Ohtani said through an interpreter.
In 86 career pitching starts with the Angels from 2018-23, Ohtani went 38-19 with a 3.01 ERA and 608 strikeouts in 481 2/3 innings. He was voted American League MVP in 2021 and 2023 for his hitting and pitching exploits, then won National League MVP last season with the Dodgers after he hit 54 home runs with 59 stolen bases.

Sparta se probrala po přestávce, obrat s Duklou dokonal fantom Uchenna
Právě duel v Lotyšsku zohlednil trenér Brian Priske při skládání základní sestavy, jen na lavičce začaly opory Lukáš Haraslín, Jan Kuchta, Kaan Kairinen a Matěj Ryneš. Dánskému kouči se tento tah málem nevyplatil.Zápas přitom začal pro Spartu ideálně - ve 20. minutě si na rohový kop Magnuse Andersena sběhl na přední tyč Uchenna a hlavičkou otevřel skóre. Jenže z vedení se Letenští radovali přesně tři minuty. Útočník Cissé stál sice v ofsajdu, využil však nechtěné přihrávky sparťana Andersena. Převzal míč, obehrál Patrika Vydru a propálil Petera Vindahla - 1:1. Dvaadvacetiletého Rakušana ale nenapadlo nic lepšího než jít slavit pod letenský kotel a navíc si svléknout trenky, takže zároveň vyfasoval i žlutou kartu. Jeho zásah byl prvním gólem Dukly na Letné v samostatné české lize. Naposledy se v jejím dresu na stadionu Sparty trefil v roce 1991 někdejší záložník Jozef Kostelník.Vrátit Spartě vedení mohl Angelo Preciado, který si na hranici šestnáctky kličkou vytvořil výtečnou pozici, […]
Krejčího Girona utrpěla na hřišti Villarrealu debakl, Pamplona gólem Budimira porazila Valencii
Villarreal šel do vedení už v sedmé minutě, kdy hrubou chybu obrany v rozehrávce potrestal Pépé. O devět minut později se poprvé prosadil Buchanan, jenž těsně před gólovou střelou na 2:0 nasadil Krejčímu „jesličky“. Kanadský reprezentant pak ještě před přestávkou zvýšil na 4:0 poté, co třetí branku přidal Marín.Domácí po přestávce zvolnili tempo, ale i přesto se Buchananovi v 64. minutě podařilo završit hattrick poté, co na přední tyči nachytal nejistého brankáře Krapyvcova. Šestadvacetiletý Kanaďan je od léta kmenovým hráčem „Žluté ponorky“, v jarní části předchozího ročníku v týmu hostoval z Interu Milán a ze třinácti ligových startů jednou skóroval.Girona má po dvou zápasech na dně tabulky skóre 1:8. Krejčí odehrál stejně jako v prvním kole celý zápas. Podle spekulací médií má reprezentační obránce namířeno do anglického Wolverhamptonu.Espaňol vedl v San Sebastianu už od desáté minuty po brance Milly a v závěru poločasu zvýšil z penalty Puado.

Neville: Man Utd display opened scars, they need a midfield signing
Manchester United's performance in their 1-1 draw with Fulham dampened optimism around the side and underlined the need for midfield reinforcements, according to Gary Neville.Emile Smith Rowe's equaliser in a dramatic game at Craven Cottage cancelled out a contentious own goal by Rodrigo Muniz as Manchester United's wait for a first Premier League win of the season continued following last weekend's 1-0 loss to Arsenal. The opening-weekend performance at Old Trafford offered encouragement as new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo impressed, but Sky Sports pundit Neville felt Sunday's game highlighted familiar problems - particularly in midfield.Ruben Amorim persisted with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as his central pairing, with the latter missing a first-half penalty as Kobbie Mainoo remained an unused substitute.
