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

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.

One of the biggest questions for the Los Angeles Dodgers entering this season is exactly how big of a role Shohei Ohtani will play on the mound for the defending world champions.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop and NL MVP candidate Elly De La Cruz had an incredible spring training debut, highlighted by two home runs in his first two at-bats against the Cleveland Guardians.
