LOS ANGELES - Shohei Ohtani returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup on Monday following a four-day absence due to multiple health concerns and went hitless in a 6-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

The two-way star, however, acknowledged that he is highly unlikely to pitch again this year, while stressing his determination to help the team offensively for the remainder of the season and the postseason.
