The news finally broke that we were all dreading - and most figured was coming sooner or later. The Angels PR account on Twitter posted the news just after 3 PM.
RHP/DH Shohei Ohtani underwent an MRI on his right elbow earlier today. The imaging revealed new damage to his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). UCL reconstruction surgery is the recommended plan of care. Additional information will be provided when appropriate. #Angels

NEW damage. So this is like the 3rd different spot/time he’s had damage to his damn elbow.
