A weak crop of potential free agents this offseason took a major hit on Wednesday night with the news that Shohei Ohtani has a torn UCL in his right elbow and won't pitch again this season.
Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian relayed the news after the second game of their doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds. Ohtani, who started Game 1, in the second inning after throwing 21 pitches when he made a gesture to the dugout that something was wrong.
Minasian added the team is waiting for a second opinion before deciding if Ohtani will need to undergo Tommy John surgery.
