Shohei Ohtani Exits Angels vs. White Sox After Suffering Groin Injury

Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani was removed from Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox with an apparent injury.

Per the Angels public relations team, Ohtani left the game with right groin tightness.

He was lifted in the top of the ninth inning for pinch hitter Jack Mayfield with the Angels holding a 4-0 lead. Mayfield drove in an insurance run with an RBI single.

Injuries precluded MLB fans from getting to see the full extent of what the Japanese pitcher can do on a baseball diamond through his first three seasons. While the Angels utilized him as a designated hitter, he made 12 combined starts from 2018-20.
