Ticket prices are soaring as Shohei Ohtani is set to make his pitching debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night against the San Diego Padres.

Ticket prices for Monday's series opener skyrocketed after the announcement that Shohei Ohtani would make his Dodgers pitching debut.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani will return to the mound for the first time since 2023, with a start against the San Diego Padres on Monday in Los Angeles, the team announced.

The Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres on Monday, June 16 in a game that will also be Shohei Ohtani's first time pitching in a game since 2023.

The Los Angeles Dodgers sparked a frenzy Sunday evening announcing two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani will make his long-awaited first start from the mound in Dodger blue on Monday night.

Instead of throwing another live batting practice session this week, Ohtani will pitch an inning or two on Monday, his first game action on the mound since elbow surgery 22 months ago.

The San Diego Padres have a Micahel King update, a Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star almost joined the Padres, and Dylan Cease has trade rumors from a top insider.
