The Los Angeles Dodgers got a promising update on pitcher Emmet Sheehan, who is expected to make his season debut this week.

After giving up consecutive singles to Fernando Tatis Jr. and Luis Arraez, Manny Machado hits a sacrifice fly out of the zone to give San Diego an early lead. The defense then helped Ohtani as Gavin Sheets grounded out to second base and Xander Bogaerts grounded out to third base to end the inning.

Shohei Ohtani is back on the mound, but only for an inning. When he's fully ramped up, this is what the Dodgers' rotation might look like.

Therefore, the Dodgers could still use Alcantara in the rotation. The Marlins finished last in the NL East in 2024 and are on track to do so again in 2025, so they will likely be

While closer Tanner Scott had early-season struggles, he is also coming off his seventh-straight scoreless appearance. If Scott is hitting his stride, Helsley could slot into the eighth inning and give Los Angeles an excellent one-two punch in the backend of the bullpen.

In the last season that he pitched in 2023, Ohtani had a 3.13 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP and a 10-5 record, helping him earn a second AL MVP. Unfortunately, his season on the mound was cut short as he underwent surgery for a UCL tear in his right elbow in September. Since then, he's been on the road to recovery.

Shohei Ohtani made his highly anticipated return to the mound, and his first-ever appearance for the Dodgers on Monday against the Padres.

After the San Francisco Giants acquired Rafael Devers, one of the Dodgers' starting pitchers, Clayton Kershaw, was very complimentary of the rival organization.
