Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani was left out of the starting lineup for the first time in 12 games.
He pitched four innings, allowing three runs on five hits, including a homer, and giving up four walks, his worst outing of the season, in his eighth loss (10 wins).
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani was left out of the starting lineup for the first time in 12 games.
AKI Inose, who provides commentary on ABEMA, said, “I knew his stomach condition was not good, so the decision was made to take care of it and leave him out of the starting lineup today.
If he rests today, I think he will be back to his usual Otani self from tomorrow onward. He said he was not out for a long period of time. Nevin also introduced a pre-game statement from the team’s acting manager. I thought today was a good day to give him a rest. I told him on the plane last night that he would not be used as a starter. We did our normal preparations before the game, and he can play as a substitute.
This is the seventh time this season that Ohtani has been left out of the starting lineup since August 8 (August 9, Japan time) against the Athletics. This time, he was absent to rest up for his two-strikeout appearance the next day.
Since the absence was due to his physical condition, many viewers commented, “I wonder if he is okay,” “It must have been really tough for him,” “I hope he rests well,” and “I hope Otani takes it easy and rests his body,” while others said, “The day after pitching, he usually has a big game, so he is usually a substitute. On the other hand, there were also comments such as, “I hope Otani will be able to pitch in his place because he is usually very active the day after he pitches.
