New developments regarding Shohei Ohtani's UCL injury have come to light.
Laura Albanese of Newsday reported that Los Angeles Angels general manager Perry Minasian said that the two-way star had displayed cramping and arm fatigue throughout the season but no additional precautions beyond pushing back his starts was taken.
Laura Albanese @AlbaneseLauraOf note: Angels GM Perry Minasian said that despite Ohtani suffering from cramping and arm fatigue that caused him to push back starts during this season, the team didn't do any related imaging on his arm until this past week.
This means that the team did not perform a MRI on Ohtani that may have been able to detect that the injury was incoming.
