Ohtani Makes Pitching Debut vs. Guardians on March 31

Ohtani, 17, will take the mound for the Dodgers at 7:10 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31, at Dodger Stadium. The 2026 pitching debut follows a season‑long recovery from a second Tommy John surgery and a return to the ballpark after missing most of 2024.

Cleveland will send right‑hander Tanner Bibee, who made his second start of the season, to face the Dodgers. The game will be televised on SportsNet LA and broadcast on AM 570 and KTNQ 1020 AM.
