Shohei Ohtani threw a 26-pitch bullpen session Saturday before the Los Angeles Dodgers’ game against the Philadelphia Phillies, another step toward his mound return.
Recovering from right elbow surgery on Sept. 19, 2023, the two-way star threw his second bullpen session since resuming his pitching ramp up. He paused after his mound session on Feb. 25 to prepare for opening day as a hitter, then threw a bullpen on March 29.
He incorporated splitters on Saturday.

“It’s a week, but then there’s also the one in between, where he touches the mound on a Thursday,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “And I think it’s just more trying to keep him on a similar seven-day program, and what the schedule would look (like) going out, and build from there.”
When Ohtani is ready for game pitching, the Dodgers plan to use a six-man rotation.
A three-time MVP and four-time All-Star, Ohtani is 38-19 with a 3.01 ERA and 608 strikeouts in 481 2/3 innings as a pitcher.

Morre Jair Costa – Um Pioneiro Brasileiro na Europa
Jair da Costa é um dos grandes nomes do futebol brasileiro e mundial, especialmente lembrado por sua passagem vitoriosa no futebol europeu. Nascido em 29 de julho de 1940, em Santo André (SP), ele iniciou sua carreira profissional na Portuguesa de Desportos, onde, entre 1958 e 1962, destacou-se como ponta-direita, chamando atenção pela velocidade, técnica e drible refinado. Em 1962, Jair foi convocado para a Seleção Brasileira que disputou a Copa do Mundo no Chile. Mesmo como reserva de Garrincha, participou do elenco que se sagrou campeão mundial. Após o torneio, transferiu-se para a Internazionale de Milão, na Itália, onde viveria a fase mais gloriosa de sua carreira. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Entre 1962 e 1967, Jair fez história na Grande Inter comandada por Helenio Herrera, sendo peça fundamental no esquema tático baseado em defesa sólida e contra-ataques velozes. Nesse período, conquistou […]
O campeão voltou? Botafogo domina o Fluminense, volta a vencer após quatro partidas e alivia pressão sobre Paiva
O Botafogo reencontrou-se consigo mesmo e voltou a vencer depois de quatro partidas irreconhecíveis. A vítima foi o Fluminense, que mesmo preservando os titulares no meio de semana, foi presa fácil para o atual campeão brasileiro. Apesar do 2 a 0, o domínio foi incontestável e o placar poderia muito bem ser mais elástico no estádio Nilton Santos. A vitória alvinegra faz a equipe subir várias posições e pegar o elevador na tabela de classificação, ocupando agora a primeira página, na sétima posição. O triunfo no clássico diante da sua torcida também alivia a pressão sobre o técnico Renato Paiva. Vitinho foi o autor do primeiro gol, em noite de subida de produção de várias peças de ataque, como Igor Jesus, Matheus Martins, que foi titular, e Savarino, que deu números finais ao marcador. Do lado do Fluminense, a derrota […]
Giants celebrate Brandon Crawford, walk off in the ninth
SAN FRANCISCO — On Saturday afternoon, Brandon Crawford stood behind a podium in front of the pitcher’s mound at Oracle Park and gave the longest speech of his life. It was the longest bit of public speaking he’d done since he was in school, by his own reckoning, and the speech made him “more nervous than Game 7 in Kansas City,” but he handled it with aplomb. A weekend day game with Bruce Bochy and the Rangers in town was already one of the easiest games on the calendar to circle, but the pregame ceremony made it even easier for the die-hards and Crawford fanatics. (Although we have questions for the gentleman in the powder-blue “CRAWFORD 35” Cardinals jersey in section 119. A lot of questions.)AdvertisementThe loudest cheers of the day weren’t for Crawford, though. They weren’t for the introductions […]

2025 NBA playoff bracket: First-round matchups, schedule, game times as Thunder advance to second round
The 2025 NBA Playoffs are in full swing, as the field remains wide-open as we march through the first round series. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder entered as the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences, but the defending champion Boston Celtics are considered the favorite by many experts and sportsbooks. The Thunder became the first NBA team to advance to the second round, completing a sweep of the Grizzlies on Saturday. The remaining Western Conference series are as follows: Rockets vs. Warriors, Lakers vs. Timberwolves and Nuggets vs. Clippers. The star-laden conference gives us superstars like Nikola Jokić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LeBron James, Anthony Edwards and Kawhi Leonard all in action, and it promises to be a tight race to the finish. Out East, we've got the Cavs vs. Heat, Celtics vs. Magic, Knicks vs. Pistons and Pacers […]
2025 Kentucky Derby post positions, morning line odds: Gate assignments for all 20 horses in the field
Getty Images The 151st running of the Kentucky Derby is set for next Saturday, May 3 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. On Saturday the 20 horses in the Derby field learned what post they would be running out of.The favorite, Journalism (3-1), drew the 8 post, while the only other horses with single-digit odds find themselves on the far outside of the starting gate. Sovereignty (5-1) drew the 18 post while Sandman (6-1) is alongside in the 17th position -- the only gate to never produce a Kentucky Derby winner. That means Sandman will have to look to make history next Saturday from that outside post. Last year's winner, Mystik Dan, won from the 3 gate, becoming the first horse to do so since 1998. The longest drought of any post aside from 17's 150-race winless streak belongs to the […]
