Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in Saturday night's starting lineup against the New York Yankees after suffering a mild ankle sprain on Friday night.
The Angels listed Ohtani's status as day to day after Friday's game. Ohtani was the designated hitter in the 4-3 loss and had homered in his first at-bat, his fourth of the season, in the second inning.
Ohtani grounded out to second in the fifth inning, then was pinch hit for by Luis Valbuena in the seventh inning, when the Angels announced the injury.
