ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Shohei Ohtani won't pitch for the rest of the season because of a tear in an elbow ligament, Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Wednesday night.
The Angels don't yet know whether Ohtani will need surgery to repair the UCL ligament.
Ohtani left the mound in the middle of an at-bat during the second inning Wednesday in a doubleheader opener because of arm fatigue.
Ohtani had a 2-2 count on Cincinnati Reds third baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand when the Angels' training staff came out to check on him following a 94 mph fastball.
