ANAHEIM -- The Angels' medical staff and Dr. Steve Yoon were "very optimistic" about the prognosis of Shohei Ohtani's Grade 2 UCL sprain in the aftermath of the platelet-rich plasma and stem cell injections Ohtani received from Yoon last week, manager Mike Scioscia said Monday.
Ohtani has begun his rehabilitation regimen, which includes one-armed swings, running and general strength training. Ohtani was seen in the clubhouse Monday with no sleeve, brace or other form of protection on his right arm.
Scioscia didn't provide a specific timetable on Ohtani's recovery process, only that he would reevaluated in two to three weeks.
