Los Angeles Dodgers two-way player Shohei Ohtani talked to Padres third baseman Manny Machado about his checked swing during his pitching debut in Monday's game.

Shohei Ohtani could return to a major league mound in the next two weeks but Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki has paused his throwing program and is set for a lengthy layoff.

Mizuhara claimed he was only paid $2,500 a month by Ohtani from October to January and then $125 to $130 a month from February to September during the offseason.
