Ohtani has not stopped throwing but the Dodgers want to manage his workload on the mound while he's also recovering from shoulder surgery.

Shohei Ohtani’s rehab isn’t progressing as quickly as some had hoped, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are playing it safe. While he’s started throwing again, don’t expect to see him pitching in the Japan Series or even at the start of the regular season.
