The Angels' two-way star departs the game after throwing a pitch, not long after hitting a two-run home run in the first inning.
Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani was removed from the mound while pitching in the second inning Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds at Angel Stadium.
Ohtani delivered a 94.2 mph pitch, which Christian Encarnacion-Strand fouled off. After the pitch, trainer Mike Frostad, manager Phil Nevin and interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, along with the rest of the infield, went out to Ohtani on the mound. He departed soon after. In the bottom of the first inning, Ohtani hit his major league-leading 44th home run to give the Angels a 2-0 lead. He was replaced on the mound by Tyler Anderson.
It was unclear what exactly was the issue and whether Ohtani would stay in the game as the designated hitter.
