I don’t usually put non-Rays news above the fold, but this one is big, and sad, for all fans of baseball.
There’s new damage in Shohei Ohtani’s elbow, and that the Angels have now recommended Tommy John. We all knew Ohtani was too beautiful for this world. Poignantly, he homered twice, after the diagnosis. Maria Guardado gave a good breakdown of the situation and timeline.
I’ve seen a number of hot takes, regarding the Angel’s handling of the situation, that don’t make a ton of sense (see Petriello’s tweet below).
