<\/p>\n\n\nDENVER \u2013<\/em> Japanese star Shohei Ohtani will make his third start of the season this Saturday, June 28, when the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

So far, he has worked a total of two complete innings, allowing two hits, one run, no walks, and with two strikeouts. In addition, his fastball has reached speeds of up to 100 mph, showing encouraging signs in his recovery.\n\nDave Roberts noted that, although a specific pitch or inning limit has not been established, the team will continue to closely monitor the evolution of Ohtani’s arm. If the pitch count allows, there is a possibility that he will work at least part of a second inning in this third presentation.\n\nBen Casparius, who has relieved Ohtani in his previous two starts, could take the reins again from the bullpen on Saturday, as part of the progressive pitcher management plan.\n\nAttention returns to focus on Ohtani, who, in addition to being a constant offensive threat, continues his comeback as a star pitcher in the Major Leagues.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
