Shohei Ohtani will make his long-awaited return to Kauffman Stadium this weekend. And there is a strong chance he could pitch as well. The Los Angeles Dodgers roll into town on Friday. They will begin a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals to conclude a weeklong homestand. It will be the Dodgers’ first trip to The K since 2023.

The San Diego Padres pitcher who hit Shohei Ohtani with a pitch on Wednesday has his suspension reduced by MLB.

Now that the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is again pitching in live-game action, new questions are lingering about where his build-up will go from here.
