GLENDALE, Ariz. — It was an off-day for Shohei Ohtani at Dodgers spring training, meaning the sport’s biggest star was not seen bouncing from field to field with the commensurate hysteria surrounding his every move. While Ohtani is expected to throw his first bullpen of the spring at some point this weekend, Thursday represented a brief break from his gradual progression to reestablish himself as a two-way player as he works his way back from elbow surgery.
In Ohtani’s absence, Dodgers camp rolled on, with no shortage of high-profile subplots to monitor. The Dodgers’ status as defending champions, plus a roster that is virtually overflowing with star power, ensures a seemingly never-ending supply of juicy storylines.
