ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani won’t pitch for the rest of the season because of a tear in an elbow ligament, Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Wednesday night.Ohtani left the mound in the middle of an at-batOhtani had a 2-2 count on Cincinnati Reds third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand when the Angels’ training staff came out to check on him following a 94 mph fastball.
The AL MVP front-runner skipped his previous turn in the rotation last week to rest his arm late in a long summer. Ohtani has struggled with blisters, cramps and other minor injuries to his pitching hand, but he had pitched through them while continuing to play every day at DH. He then left the mound after four scoreless innings against Seattle on Aug. 3 because of cramping in his hand and fingers.
