Angels' Shohei Ohtani: Won't pitch again this season
Share Video
Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Wednesday that Ohtani has a torn UCL in his right elbow and won't pitch again in 2023, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
No decision has been made yet on whether Ohtani will require the second Tommy John surgery of his career or a different type of procedure to repair his UCL, but he will be shut down as a pitcher for the time being. The two-way star exited Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Reds due to arm fatigue, but he was still able to serve as the Angels' designated hitter in the nightcap and will continue to do so going forward, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. Ohtani will finish his season on the mound with a 3.17 ERA and 1.06 WHIP through 130.2 innings across 22 starts.
