While it seems unlikely that Shohei Ohtani will take the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, the New York Yankees will be prepared should he do so.
\"I haven\'t given much thought to that, but if that\'s the case, we\'ll be ready for everything,\" Aaron Boone said.
Ohtani hasn\'t pitched since Aug. 23, 2023. He underwent surgery on his pitching elbow less than a month later.
He\'s been throwing off a mound for weeks and late in the regular season, Dave Roberts caused everyone to perk up when he said there\'s a possibility Ohtani could pitch in the playoffs.
Almost immediately, various Dodgers executives shot down the idea, and Roberts himself shut down speculation during the NLCS.
