Shohei Ohtani Undergoes MRI for Arm Injury After Angels' Loss to Astros

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/pitcher Shohei Ohtani will reportedly undergo an MRI on his pitching arm.

Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reported the news, noting Ohtani "expressed some discomfort in his pitching arm" following Sunday's loss to the Houston Astros.

Ohtani is hitting .148 with two home runs and seven RBI. On the mound, the 26-year-old has a 37.80 ERA in two starts.

A Grade 2 UCL sprain forced Ohtani to miss a month of the 2018 campaign, and he underwent Tommy John surgery after the season.
