It’s a tough break for baseball fans everywhere, as the Los Angeles Angels have announced that their star pitcher and designated hitter, Shohei Ohtani, will miss his next start due to arm fatigue.
Ohtani has been a sensation since he joined the Angels in 2018, becoming the first player in MLB history to both pitch and hit in the same game. He has been a key part of the Angels’ success this season, with a 3-2 record and a 3.10 ERA on the mound, and a .289 batting average with 12 home runs at the plate.
Unfortunately, the Angels have decided to err on the side of caution and give Ohtani some extra rest. The team’s medical staff has determined that his arm fatigue is not serious, but they want to make sure that he is at full strength before taking the mound again.
This is a difficult situation for the Angels, as they are currently in the middle of a tight race for the AL West title. However, it is important to remember that Ohtani’s health is the most important thing. The team is doing the right thing by giving him some extra rest and making sure he is ready to go when he returns to the mound.
It’s a shame that Ohtani won’t be able to take the mound for his next start, but it’s important to remember that his long-term health is more important than any one game. Hopefully he will be back on the mound soon and ready to help the Angels make a run for the playoffs.
