Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes confirmed the inevitable on Wednesday: Shohei Ohtani will not pitch in the postseason. 'I think it's no differ

No one in the know is expecting Ohtani to work as a starter, despite the Dodgers' rotation having been ravaged by injuries all year. He had major elbow surgery last September. He has been throwing off a mound for weeks, though, so couldn't he throw an inning if they get to the World Series, for example?

Don’t expect to see Shohei Ohtani on the mound in the 2024 playoffs. Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes quelled any thought of Ohtani pitching this postseason as Los Angeles attempts to make a run for a World Series title.
