Shohei Ohtani underwent an MRI on Friday afternoon that showed ingering irritation in his right oblique, prompting him to shut down his season as a hitter and shift his focus to treating the torn UCL in his right elbow.
, both of whom have been beset by injuries these last three years, the Angels haven't even been relevant in the stretch run of the regular season in their six years with Ohtani.
The Angels, under then-GM Billy Eppler and former manager Mike Scioscia, recruited Ohtani out of Japan in December of 2017 but only got half a season out of him as a two-way player within the first two years. Ohtani was diagnosed with a Grade 2 tear of his UCL in June of 2018 and was recommended Tommy John surgery in September, after PRP and stem-cell therapy did not take.
Ohtani hasn't spoken publicly since Aug. 9, his last full start before learning about his UCL tear when he next took the mound 14 days later. Ohtani found out about the injury shortly after an early exit from the first game of a doubleheader and was in the lineup for Game 2. He then accompanied the Angels on a three-city road trip through New York, Philadelphia and Oakland, serving as the team's designated hitter throughout.
