MLB Communications announced on Tuesday, that Monday night's game marked the most-watched game in MLB.TV history.

The day that the Dodgers have been waiting for since they signed Shohei Ohtani to a then-record contract is nearly here: Ohtani's first start as a pitcher in a Dodgers uniform is set for Monday night against the Padres.

Ippei Mizuhara reported to federal prison on Monday to begin his 5-year sentence, as Shohei Ohtani made his long-awaited return to pitching.

The Dodgers star threw his first pitches since 2023 on Monday night and a history-making audience tuned into see it.

Shohei Ohtani has accomplished so much already for the Dodgers, but he finally displayed why he is the game's two-way superstar.

For the first time in 21 months, Shohei Ohtani was able to do what makes him such an anomaly among big leaguers: pitch.

With 73 runs in the Dodgers' first 72 games of the season, Ohtani is on pace to set the modern NL record for runs in a season, with 164. It's a mark that only two players have achieved since 1900. Both played in the American League, and both are Hall of Famers: Babe Ruth in 1921 (177) and Lou Gehrig in 1936 (167).

Even as the Dodgers are getting back Shohei Ohtani on the mound,  the banged-up Los Angeles pitching staff suffered another blow. The Dodgers announced Ohtani will start on Monday night against the Padres,
