ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani will have his upcoming scheduled start pushed to next weekend after spraining his left ankle on Friday.
The Los Angeles Angels’ two-way sensation was slated to pitch Tuesday against Baltimore, but manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday he instead expects Ohtani to start during a three-game series at Seattle that begins Friday.
“We’re targeting Shohei to pitching somewhere on the weekend in Seattle just to make sure this is behind him and he gets the proper workout to test it more instead of rushing him and trying to see where he is on Wednesday,” Scioscia said.
