When Angels Cry: Shohei Ohtani Injury Puts Season on Hold
UCL Tear Injury Derails Ohtani's Pitching Season
Los Angeles Angels sensation Shohei Ohtani’s pitching season has come to a complete stop. During Wednesday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, Ohtani left the mound accompanied by a trainer, triggering concerns over his health. The Angels initially cited “arm fatigue,” but the situation escalated quickly. A UCL tear will apparently sideswipe Ohtani indefinitely.
The Angels’ General Manager, Perry Minasian, was the one who dropped the bombshell, revealing that Ohtani had suffered a tear in his UCL (ulnar collateral ligament) and the fact that this means Ohtani won’t be seen pitching again in 2023. The severity of the Shohei Ohtani injury has left medical staff poring over whether surgery is necessary, which could extend his recovery even more.
Angels’ Wednesday Triple Blow
The Angels faced a triple blow on Wednesday, not only losing both games of the doubleheader against the Reds but also seeing their star Mike Trout sidelined due to wrist injury, along with Ohtani’s pitching season being cut short. That’s really gonna be a hard blow on their 2023 MLB stats, too!
So, Is Ohtani’s Free Agency and Market Value Still On?
The hope is that Ohtani will continue to play as a batter this season. Ohtani has battled through minor ailments recently, and it hasn’t been such a big deal. Up to now. This Shohei Ohtani injury has raised questions about his impending free agency and potential impact on his market value.
Either Way, Ohtani Always Gets Up Front
Ohtani’s journey in Wednesday’s doubleheader encapsulated his versatility and determination. Despite being pulled from pitching after just 1 1/3 innings, he returned to the field as a designated hitter for Game 2. His resilience shone through as he notched a double, a run, and a strikeout, all notwithstanding the Shohei Ohtani injury.
Remember, even the good ones drop the ball; it’s always best to look up the MLB injury report before planning your baseball betting MLB action and choosing your picks and parlays MLB style. It’s only fair that you make an informed decision!
