Shohei Ohtani will return to the mound Wednesday for his fourth pitching start of the season.
The Angels’ two-way star was originally scheduled to start Monday, but was scratched after getting hit on his right throwing elbow by a pitch while serving as the designated hitter Sunday against the Seattle Mariners.
The hit by pitch didn’t prevent Ohtani from finishing Sunday’s game or hitting again Monday, when he went two for four with a home run and a double, but left his elbow too sore to throw in the series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays.
