warm-up pitches

During the Toronto Blue Jays' 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Wednesday's series finale at Rogers Centre, outfielder George Springer approached the umpire to question Shohei Ohtani's between-innings warm-up routine. The issue arose after Ohtani, who reached base in the top of the first, returned to the mound with less than a minute left on the pitch clock, echoing complaints from Game 7 of the 2025 World Series.
