ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Shohei Ohtani returned to cheer on his Los Angeles Angels teammates and to receive some cheers of his own in the final weekend of the regular season.
Ohtani had been away from the Angels since surgery on his pitching elbow Sept. 19, but he was back in the dugout Saturday night when the Halos hosted Oakland.
The two-way superstar received several standing ovations before the game while he accepted the Angels' team MVP award on the field from general manager Perry Minasian and manager Phil Nevin. Angels owner Arte Moreno wasn't on the field for the ceremony.
