Los Angeles Angels
Poll time for #Angels fans: do you want to see Shohei Ohtani continue to pitch or do you want him switched full-time to hitting?
Announced within 3 hours of eachother. This is very much an unfortunate yet fitting timeline for the #Angels.
Shohei Ohtani could be done pitching in 2020 after MRI reveals forearm strain https://t.co/zK1Y5F91z0
RT @latimessports: Angels’ Shohei Ohtani can’t pitch for at least six weeks but won’t go on injured list

Jeff wrote the book on pitcher injuries. Literally.
Layman's term: Shohei Ohtani has a forearm strain.
The forearm muscles are vital to pitchers. In the best cases, they absorb a significant portion of the force when a pitcher throws. If the forearm isn't working properly, force gets distributed disproportionately to the elbow. https://t.co/I86LHqsQfJ

Shohei Ohtani MRI results: No pitching for minimum 4-6 weeks. Tough start for #Angels

Shohei Ohtani appears done as far as pitching this season, but one thing to remember: After the #Angels RH shredded his elbow on Sept. 2, 2018, he hit .310 with a 1.003 OPS, 7 HRs and 18 RBIs in 24 games before undergoing TJ surgery. In other words, he hits hurt pretty well.
Shohei Ohtani diagnosed with Grade 1-2 arm strain https://t.co/XO56UIGN2o
RT @FabianArdaya: So with Shohei Ohtani avoiding the IL the Angels could, in theory, roll out a lineup like:
Fletcher SS
Trout CF
Rendon 3B
Ohtani DH
Adell RF
Upton/Goodwin LF
Pujols 1B
La Stella/Rengifo 2B
Castro C

So likely that Shoehei Ohtani has thrown his last pitch of the season, but can DH for the #Angels.
Tough news: “Shohei Ohtani has been diagnosed with a grade 1-2 strain of the flexor pronator mass. A general timetable for beginning a throwing progression following this injury is 4-6 weeks. He is traveling with the team to Seattle and his status as a DH is day to day.”
RT @FabianArdaya: Shohei Ohtani has been diagnosed with a Grade 1-2 strain of the flexor pronator mass, the Angels said. He could start a throwing progression in about 4-6 weeks.
He can still DH and is day to day there, but his pitching this season appears over.

He can still DH. #Angels
Ohtani (arm) expected to be with Angels on Tues. https://t.co/n6JZppNpkf
Shohei Ohtani is not expected to go on the IL. He is expected to continue as the #Angels primary designated hitter.
What is uncertain is Ohtani’s status as a pitcher. https://t.co/m7kCZDwjIg
