Ohtani, who will not pitch again this season after being diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, came into the Angels’ lineup against the Mets on Friday night as the designated hitter and bat.
Ohtani had been dealing with arm fatigue for several weeks before leaving his start Wednesday against the Reds after 1.1 innings of work. Anyway, he went alone Major League home run leader After hitting his 44th home run of the year. After being found out between two games of the doubleheader, the Japanese went 1-5 with a brace in the second game.
Angels general manager Perry Minasian — who made the announcement Wednesday night — said it was unclear whether the 29-year-old phenom would undergo a second Tommy John surgery — the same one he had in October 2018.
While this is a unique situation, the Angels have a roadmap. Ohtani decided to reverse that 2018 practice, posting a 1.003 OPS with seven home runs over his last 24 games in the sidelines.
