Los Angeles Angels do-it-all superstar and AL MVP frontrunner Shohei Ohtani appeared to suffer sort of injury toward the tail end of his start against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night. Ohtani was brilliant through the first six innings, striking out nine and holding Chicago scoreless. But with two on and one out in the top of the seventh – and with Ohtani at 101 pitches – the 28-year-old appeared to signal for the trainer Mike Frostad and manager Phil Nevin. After a lengthy meeting on the mound, Ohtani was eventually pulled from the game.
Game Note:
Shohei Ohtani exits game as pitcher. Remains as batter. Ohtani responsible for two men on base.
Current line:
