While the topic of where Shohei Ohtani should open the season remained a lively one, the question of where he actually was Saturday also surfaced.
His readiness for the start of the Angels' season has come into question with his recent struggles as a pitcher and hitter.
Later Saturday, the team even shifted its original plans that called for Ohtani to hit in a minor league game Sunday. Instead, he will start as the designated hitter when the Angels play Texas.
"It's not outside the realm of what we do with other pitchers," Scioscia said.
