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.

Ohtani will serve as the Opener on Monday night as the Dodgers take on the San Diego Padres. It will be Ohtani's first-ever game on the mound for the Dodgers.

It's Monday, June 16 and the Padres (39-31) are in Los Angeles to take on the Dodgers (43-29). Dylan Cease is slated to take the mound for San Diego against Shohei Ohtani for Los Angeles. It's a big night for Dodger fans as they get to see Ohtani take the mound for the first time since August 2023.
