Shohei Ohtani is done for the rest of the season as he continues to deal with an oblique injury, the Angels announced Saturday.
— Shohei Ohtani’s attempts to return from an oblique injury officially came to an end Saturday, when the Los Angeles Angels announced he had been placed on the injured list and will miss the remainder of the season.
Ohtani, a near lock be named the American League’s Most Valuable Player for the second time in three years, tweaked his right oblique during a rare session of outdoor batting practice Sept. 4 and proceeded to miss the next 11 games. Ohtani’s camp has yet to decide on — or, at least, announce — a course of action for his torn ulnar collateral ligament, which ended his season as a pitcher near the end of August.
