ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani has a right forearm strain that will prevent the Los Angeles Angels’ two-way star from throwing for at least four to six weeks, possibly ending his season as a pitcher after just two starts. Source: Internet
Angels reporter Trent Rush charted the outing and unofficially had Ohtani throwing just 15 strikes out of 50 pitches, with eight walks, six wild pitches and a hit-by-pitch. Source: Internet
About the only player who hadn’t gotten into the action lately was Shohei Ohtani, who had an 0 for 15 before he blistered a 113-mph line drive off the right-field fence in the eighth, for a double. Source: Internet
For the first night, Maddon put Simmons back at shortstop, moved Fletcher to second, and had La Stella as the designated hitter in place of Ohtani. Source: Internet
Notable pitchers who have previously made the jump from NPB to MLB include Masahiro Tanaka, Shohei Ohtani, Yu Darvish, Kenta Maeda, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideo Nomo. Source: Internet
Maddon would lead off Ohtani, believing having a 26th man this year would leave more position players to pinch-hit when the pitcher’s spot came up after Ohtani was removed. Source: Internet
