Shohei Ohtani to have knee surgery. Should we be concerned?

The Angels have also had numerous players on the injured list throughout the season as well and even some who have not gone on the injured list but have missed multiple games this season (Mike Trout). You can add another player to that list as Shohei Ohtani has been shut down for the final two weeks of the season due to a knee injury he has been dealing with, but couldn’t bear the pain anymore.

Ohtani’s injury is a bipartite patella in his left knee. It is an unusual injury in that Ohtani was essentially born with two kneecaps in his left knee instead of one.
