Shohei Ohtani to the DL with UCL Injury

Shohei Ohtani will be placed on the disabled list with a grade 2 sprain of the UCL. He underwent a PRP and Stem Cell injection yesterday with Dr. Steve Yoon in Los Angeles. He will be re-evaluated in 3 weeks and we will update his plan of care at that time.

After putting Shohei Ohtani on the DL this morning for what they were calling “blister problems” (a lie that has now been conveniently scrubbed from their social media sites), the Angels have grudging revealed that not only has Ohtani been placed on the DL for a sprained ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), but that he’s already received PRP and stem cell injections for it.
