Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Ohtani (biceps/knee) has progressed to hitting off coaches, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Ohtani has been easing back into a hitting progression after landing on the 15-day injured list last week with biceps and knee injuries. He is eligible for activation Sept. 23, and he could be back on that date or shortly after to get a few regular season games under his belt before the playoffs.
