Ohtani (hand/wrist) will serve as the starting pitcher Friday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Ohtani had Tuesday's scheduled start pushed back after being hit by a pitch in the right hand/wrist over the weekend, but he completed a bullpen session Wednesday and has been cleared to rejoin the rotation. It never appeared to be a serious issue, as the 27-year-old remained in the lineup as the designated hitter the past couple days. He'll bat second in Wednesday's series finale against the Yankees.
