Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers are navigating a complicated process as the two-star works to resume pitching without hurting his hitting performance.

Shohei Ohtani is preparing to take the next step in the ongoing rehab of his right elbow. That step will occur on Saturday, according to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, when Ohtani will throw a bullpen session for the first time since Feb.

Dave Roberts says Ohtani will throw off a bullpen mound for the first time in more than a month on Saturday, but there remains no specific timetable for him to pitch in a major-league game.
