Shohei Ohtani Expected to Return as Two-Way Player for Dodgers in Spring Training, Avoids Surgery

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is expected to return to two-way duties next season and be ready for spring training, with surgery 'not on the table' despite battling lingering left knee and recurring right biceps injuries through much of the past season. Additionally, backup catcher Dalton Rushing underwent elbow surgery last week, with an estimated nine-month recovery period.
