It does not look like the Los Angeles crowd will see a dual-position performance on Tuesday at the 2022 All-Star Game. According to LA Times columnist Dylan Hernandez, Shohei Ohtani himself mentioned he will not likely throw tomorrow.
Ohtani said he doesn’t plan to pitch tomorrow.

The two-way superstar took himself out of contention to start the ball game, and it looks doubtful he will throw a single pitch against the National League’s best.
Los Angeles starts its second half on Friday with a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves.
