Los Angeles Angels' pitcher Shohei Ohtani (29) has announced that he will not be pitching for the rest of the season due to a damaged ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. However, he plans to continue playing as a batter, and the treatment approach will be decided through obtaining a second opinion.
Ohtani started as both a pitcher and designated hitter (DH) in the first game of a doubleheader, hitting a remarkable 44th home run. However, he abruptly left the game in the second inning due to an unexpected situation. Subsequent image diagnostics revealed the ulnar collateral ligament damage. As a result, Ohtani's chances of pitching this season have been dashed.
Perry Minasian, the Angels' GM, stated in a press conference that Ohtani will no longer be pitching as a player. Ohtani's achievements as a pitcher have been outstanding, with 167 strikeouts recorded. Additionally, he led both the American and National Leagues in home runs as a batter, achieving the unprecedented feat of "double-digit wins and home runs in consecutive years" in Major League history.
エンゼルスの大谷翔平投手(29)は、右肘の靭帯損傷のため、今季の残り試合は投手として登板しないことが発表されました。ただし、打者としての出場は続ける予定で、治療方針はセカンドオピニオンを受けて決めていく予定です。
大谷はダブルヘッダー第1試合に投手兼指名打者(DH)として先発し、44号2ランホームランを放つ活躍を見せました。しかし、2回に急遽降板する場面があり、その後の画像診断で靭帯損傷が判明しました。これにより、大谷は投手としての登板が絶望となりました。
ペリー・ミナシアンGMは記者会見で、大谷翔平選手の投手としての登板はもうないことを明言しました。大谷は投手としての成績も素晴らしく、167奪三振を記録していました。また、打者としての本塁打もア・ナ両リーグトップで、メジャー史上初の2年連続での「2桁勝利、2桁本塁打」を達成しました。
