Ohtani completed a bullpen session at Angel Stadium on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Ohtani returned to the mound in April and has been ramping up his pitching activity since. While the two-way star was originally expected to miss several weeks to begin the season as he finished recovering from Tommy John surgery, the delayed start to the campaign has given him ample time to build up his arm, and he is now likely to be part of the starting rotation when the season kicks off. Manager Joe Maddon all but confirmed this when he stated that Ohtani is "ready to rock and roll" in a comment to reporters Thursday, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.
