Shohei Ohtani blasts leadoff home run in return to Dodgers lineup

The Los Angeles Dodgers star was a noticeable absence from the lineup on June 12 as he dealt with left knee inflammation. It came after he was pulled from the team's June 11 game and underwent an MRI, which came back clean.

>Whether Ohtani makes his next start or not remains to be seen, but the two-way star was inserted into the lineup on June 13. Installed in the leadoff spot, Ohtani left no doubt about his health on the second pitch of the game from Chicago White Sox starter Sean Burke.

>Ohtani deposited a rocket into the right field seats at a blazing 109.6 mph exit velocity. The ball landed 409 feet away from where the star made contact.
