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.

‘ two-way star from throwing for at least four to six weeks, possibly ending his season as a pitcher after just two starts.

Ohtani is travelling with the Angels to Seattle, where they open a six-game road trip Tuesday night. The Angels also use Ohtani as their primary designated hitter between his mound starts, and he is day-to-day as a hitter, the team said. While he has been a solid designated hitter for the Angels, Ohtani pitched in only 10 games during his AL Rookie of the Year campaign before requiring Tommy John surgery in late 2018, and he didn’t make it through the second inning in either of his starts after returning to the mound this season.

When he returned to the mound Sunday in Anaheim for his first home start since June 2018, he began with a superb eight-pitch first inning in which his fastball hit 97 mph. Ohtani’s injury puts even more stress on the last-place Angels, who have stumbled to a 3-7 start with a string of terrible pitching performances. Three-time AL MVP Mike Trout is expected to rejoin the team Tuesday along with the Angels’ top prospect, outfielder Jo Adell.

Walking with our Angels won't leave until government provides meaningful action on suicideTristen Durocher, the organizer behind the initiative, said on Sunday the group won’t leave until they see meaningful action on suicide prevention in the province. Perhaps drugs are a big part of the problem. It’s long past time our government treats our Native People with respect. It time to clean up the conditions on most reserves. Stop status cards. They need jobs, appropriate housings opportunities to pay taxes & feel part of Canada. Leave their land & hunting rights alone. Legislation will not do anything. Hiring proper qualified medical professionals to help with people suffering from this illness will.
