Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani won't pitch until wrist soreness subsides; will continue to DH

Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani will not make his scheduled start Tuesday against the New York Yankees after getting hit by a pitch on his right wrist on Saturday, manager Joe Maddon said Monday.

Maddon told reporters that Ohtani is still dealing with some soreness, and that he will continue to hit as the Angels' DH until he is ready to pitch again.

Maddon also said that outfielder Mike Trout is still dealing with some soreness in his right calf, and acknowledged it's getting close to the time when the team will have to decide whether to shut him down for the season.
