Los Angeles Angels general manager Billy Eppler said Tuesday two-way star Shohei Ohtani isn't expected to pitch until mid-May as he completes his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in October 2018.

Eppler explained Ohtani will remain the club's primary designated hitter and can rehab without being removed from the MLB roster under the league's new rules, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
