Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani is taking it slow this spring, after undergoing surgery. He took his first batting session Sunday.

In seven seasons as a hitter, Ohtani has a .282 batting average with a .945 OPS, 225 home runs and 567 RBIs in 860 games. As a pitcher, he is 38-19 with a 3.01 ERA in 86 starts over five separate seasons. He has undergone two elbow surgeries since making his MLB debut in 2018.

Shohei Ohtani has yet to be in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup for a Cactus League game, nor has he so much as faced batters as a pitcher, but the two-way superstar continues to make progress on both fronts.

Japanese phenom pitcher Roki Sasaki has revealed that he is married. That even caught Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts by surprise.

The development is similar to when Sasaki's teammate Shohei Ohtani announced his own marriage in a surprise spring training Instagram post.
