Shohei Ohtani’s status became a giant question mark, when the Angels announced Ohtani he won’t pitch again this season due to an elbow injury.
Shohei Ohtani’s expected arrival this weekend has been the most anticipated series of the second half at Citi Field since it became clear earlier this season the Mets likely wouldn’t be contending for a pennant.
According to reports, Ohtani plans to stay in the Angels lineup, meaning he likely will play this weekend in Queens., which previously would have certainly garnered him the richest contract in North American team sports history., but if Ohtani needs a second Tommy John surgery the situation will become murky.
Ohtani left his start against the Reds on Wednesday with elbow discomfort, yet knowing the UCL was torn, still played in the second game of a doubleheader as the DH.
