Shohei Ohtani, the four-time MVP, hit off a tee for the first time since undergoing right biceps inflammation treatment on Tuesday in Los Angeles. According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Ohtani appeared to be feeling well during the session. Roberts assured that the team is on a positive trajectory and has a consistent plan in place to determine Ohtani's return to action.

Ohtani has been working out and receiving treatment while not traveling with the team. The manager expressed optimism about Ohtani potentially playing in a few more regular-season games, although he could not predict the exact number. The Dodgers have already secured a playoff spot, clinching their 13th NL West title in 14 years with three games remaining.
