Roberts told reporters Monday that Ohtani, a former Cy Young finalist with the Los Angeles Angels, will throw a bullpen session Saturday. Ohtani hasn’t thrown since Feb. 25 and instead spent spring training focusing on hitting.

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.

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