HOUSTON — Three hours before first pitch Monday, Shohei Ohtani had already put in a full day’s work. Mired in a 0-for-14 slump entering this week’s series against the Astros, Ohtani got out on the field early at Daikin Park, taking not only rare on-field batting practice but an elongated session that included 55 swings. A little while later, he reemerged from the clubhouse wearing both his full uniform and pitcher’s mitt, heading down to the bullpen for some touch-and-feel throws the day before he was scheduled for his next start on the mound.
