Nobody likes a blister. They’re annoying and have a tendency to come back in the same spots. Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani is dealing with this issue which will force him to miss his next scheduled start on Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Located on the middle finger of his throwing hand, Ohtani was nagged by the injury in spring training. He started to have issues towards the end of his first start of 2021 against the White Sox.

Angels: Hopefully Shohei Ohtani’s blister is not a recurring issue.
