While the Dodgers haven't yet issued a timetable on when Ohtani could return to in-game pitching, manager Dave Roberts told reporters that the chances of him doing it before the All-Star break (slated to begin on July 13) are "north of zero."

Shohei Ohtani was back on the mound Tuesday as he ramps up his return to pitching in an MLB game. By most accounts, he looked pretty good. Including that of Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who didn't rule out a return to the mount for Ohtani before the All-Star break. Though that still sounds like a long shot.

Shohei Ohtani is moving ever closer to his first pitching appearance for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday there’s now a chance his fans might not even have to wait until the All-Star break.
