In his final outing on the mound of the spring, Shohei Ohtani caused a brief scare when it was revealed following the game he was dealing with a blister problem. Luckily for him and the Angels, it doesn’t appear to be too serious.
“I formed the blister in my last outing,” Ohtani said to reporters following the game. “So I was pitching with a blister from the beginning, but I was focused on getting my pitch count up.”
Ohtani allowed seven runs and walked five on Monday night in his brief 2 1⁄3 innings of work.
