Shohei Ohtani of the Anaheim Angels underwent elbow surgery, per a statement released by his agent yesterday.
Notably, the statement did not specify what sort of elbow surgery it was. It was announced several weeks ago that Ohtani had a tear to his UCL, and would not be pitching anymore this season, though he would continue to hit. However, Ohtani has not played since September 3 due to an oblique strain, and is now done for the year.
The statement from Ohtani’s agent indicated that it was expected Ohtani would be fully ready to hit for the 2024 season, and would be ready to resume pitching for the 2025 season.
