CHICAGO -- Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Chicago White Sox but is available off the bench after suffering a minor groin injury running to first base on Sunday, according to the team.
"We got him out of the game yesterday, more as a precaution than anything," athletic trainer Mike Frostad said Monday morning.
Ohtani's injury did not require an MRI as the team is hopeful he'll be back in the starting lineup in the next day or two.
"Nothing to rush on this yet," manager Joe Maddon said.
