Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani will make his return to the mound on Tuesday against the Rangers in Anaheim. Ohtani has not pitched since April 4 due to a recurring blister on his throwing hand.

During his first start of the season against the White Sox, Ohtani allowed one earned run on two hits while walking five and striking out seven in 4.1 innings pitched. The outing was historic, as Ohtani became the first player in over 45 seasons to pitch while hitting for himself as the designated hitter.
