Shohei Ohtani will make his next mound start for the Los Angeles Angels in Friday night's homestand opener against the Kansas City Royals.
The two-way Japanese star threw just two innings and 31 pitches in Monday's start at Boston before his outing was cut short by an 85-minute rain delay.
"We kind of look at this as a lengthy bullpen," Angels manager Phil Nevin said Tuesday. "Just get him right back out there. And it makes sense if you line it up with some travel days."
Ohtani is 2-0 with a 0.
