Shohei Ohtani is finished pitching for the year, but that doesn't mean he's finished for the year.

The Los Angeles Angels' two-way star will continue playing as a designated hitter while he and the Angels seek additional treatment options for his UCL tear, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. That includes this weekend's series against the New York Mets after the Angels' day off Thursday.

Ohtani exited his start Wednesday due to what the team called arm fatigue, and his torn UCL diagnosis was announced later that night.
