Angels general manager Perry Minasian explained that it was Shohei Ohtani’s decision not to have an MRI exam done after he had some cramping in his pitching hand and before he tore his right UCL. …
Sitting in front of what he called a “record” crowd of reporters in the visitor’s dugout at Citi Field on Saturday, Angels general manager Perry Minasian explained that it was Shohei Ohtani’s decision not to have an MRI exam done after he had some cramping in his pitching hand and before“The imaging was offered earlier … and him and his representation [agent Nez Balelo] turned it down,” Minasian said. “And I understand why.
But Minasian said he didn’t believe the cramping was related to the eventual tear, and that in any case, “you normally wouldn’t image a finger cramp.” “Our managers want to communicate with our players. We trust our players. I think obviously, this is an unfortunate incident and something that nobody wants to happen. But injuries are part of baseball. They’re going to happen.”
