MLB Pitching Updates

The Los Angeles Dodgers received a strong, if slightly concerning, final spring performance from two-way star Shohei Ohtani, who registered 11 strikeouts in his last tune-up start before the regular season commenced Ohtani K's 11. The primary issue, according to the club, was that Ohtani completed just six innings, suggesting pitch efficiency remains a focus despite the high strikeout total. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Reds face an immediate rotation setback as left-hander Nick Lodolo begins the season on the injured list recovering from a blister that developed on his left index finger Lodolo will start.
