Analysis: Ohtani returned to throwing off a mound with a light session last week, and he's scheduled to go through a slightly more rigorous workout this time. The Angels still plan on having the two-way Japanese star pitch before the end of the season. "The goal is pitching again this year and we feel that is attainable," manager Mike Scioscia said. |

Angels manager Mike Scioscia announced the decision Tuesday before Ohtani batted third as Los Angeles' designated hitter against Detroit.
Analysis: Ohtani hasn't pitched since June 6 after spraining a ligament in his elbow. Ohtani and the Angels are attempting to determine whether he can return to regular pitching without needing Tommy John surgery. Ohtani won't throw at maximum effort in the bullpen session, which will be his most elaborate work off a mound since his injury. The Angels are still optimistic Ohtani will pitch in games again this season. |

Analysis: The team said Ohtani was given a six-week evaluation Thursday by Dr. Steve Yoon at the Kerlan Jobe Institute. The Angels said they would release specifics about his progress and rehabilitation schedule at another time. Ohtani was placed on the DL with an ulnar collateral ligament sprain on June 8. He has since returned as a DH, but his prospects to pitch remain unclear. |

Analysis: Ohtani was placed on the disabled list with a UCL sprain June 8.

The two-way rookie star from Japan warmed up to start the fifth Wednesday night, but catcher Martin Maldonado called for a trainer. Angels manager Mike Scioscia also went to the mound to check on Ohtani, who eventually walked back to the dugout.
Analysis: Ohtani gave up one run on four hits and three walks, striking out four. He did not get a decision. It was the second time this season Ohtani left a game due to a blister on his right middle finger. He gave up three runs in two innings before exiting against Boston on April 17, but did not miss his next turn. |

Analysis: He'll be well-rested after having his previous turn in the rotation skipped as the Angels continue to monitor the two-way standout's workload. Ohtani (4-1, 3.35) has been quite good this month, posting a 2.25 ERA and 26 strikeouts while going 2-0 in three May starts. |

Analysis: Ohtani came up with the potential tying run on base and two outs in the eighth. New York brought in closer Aroldis Chapman to face Ohtani with Justin Upton at first. Chapman threw a wild pitch that advanced the runner, Ohtani sent a 100 mph pitch just foul of the left-field pole, then grounded out on a 101 mph offering. Ohtani is just 4 for 23 (.174) at the plate against lefty pitchers. |

The 23-year-old rookie, the first two-way player in the major leagues in decades, was on track to start Sunday at Yankee Stadium against countryman Masahiro Tanaka, but the Angels said Thursday that Ohtani will miss the turn as part of workload management.
Analysis: Ohtani last pitched Sunday against Tampa Bay, winning his second straight decision and giving up two runs and six hits in a season-high 7 2/3 innings. His 110 pitches were also a season high. |

Analysis: Angels manager Mike Scioscia did say Ohtani would be available to hit in Sunday's game, which suggests he won't take the mound again until at least Tuesday. The two-way sensation did throw a season-high 110 pitches while holding the Rays to two runs over 7 2/3 innings last Sunday to win his most recent outing. |

Analysis: This will be the third consecutive Sunday in which Ohtani will pitch on a full week's rest, which should be the expectation at this point as the Angels continue to utilize a six-man rotation. The move has worked out well for the two-way sensation, as he's allowed just three runs across 12 1/3 innings while going 1-0 over those previous two starts. |

Analysis: Ohtani, who didn't start because there is no designated hitter in NL parks, came up as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. |

Analysis: A mild right ankle sprain caused Ohtani to miss a turn in the rotation, though he's since returned as a hitter and is swinging a hot bat as well. The Japanese sensation is 4 for 7 with two RBIs and three runs scored over his last two games. |

Ohtani was slated to pitch Tuesday, but manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday he instead expects Ohtani to start during a three-game series at Seattle that begins Friday.
Analysis: Ohtani is 2-1 with a 4.43 ERA. The Japanese star won his first two major league starts against Oakland, but went just two innings because of a blister against Boston and gave up four runs in 6 1/3 innings at Houston on Tuesday. Ohtani is hitting .341 with four home runs and 12 RBIs in 12 games. |

Analysis: Manager Mike Scioscia said he'll wait until after Sunday afternoon's game to confirm when Ohtani's next pitching start will be. It could be Monday at Houston. A blister on his right middle finger forced him out of Tuesday night's start against Boston after just two innings. He allowed four hits and three runs on 66 pitches, and couldn't throw his breaking pitches for strikes. |

Analysis: Scioscia said the blister would not keep Ohtani from being available to hit against the Red Sox on Thursday, but his possible inclusion as the designated hitter would depend entirely on lineup considerations. Ohtani is batting .367 with three home runs and 11 RBIs in eight games. |
Apr. 17 8:52 PM PT9:52 PM MT10:52 PM CT11:52 PM ET23:52 ET3:52 GMT11:52 8:52 PM MST10:52 PM EST9:52 PM CST11:22 PM VEN7:52 UAE (+1)10:52 PM CT-Ohtani's third start for the Angels lasted only two innings Tuesday night after he developed a blister on his pitching hand. Although his fastball again hit 99 mph and he only walked one batter, Ohtani needed 66 pitches to get through two innings.
Analysis: The Angels pulled the Japanese two-way sensation early after he yielded three runs and four hits while struggling with his control against the Red Sox. One inning after Ohtani left, the Angels announced the right-hander had developed a blister during the second inning. |
Apr. 8 4:06 PM PT5:06 PM MT6:06 PM CT7:06 PM ET19:06 ET23:06 GMT7:06 4:06 PM MST6:06 PM EST5:06 PM CST6:36 PM VEN3:06 UAE (+1)6:06 PM CT-Shohei Ohtani improved to 2-0, allowing one hit and one walk over 7.0 scoreless innings, as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Oakland Athletics 6-1 on Sunday. Ohtani struck out 12, ending the game with a 2.08 ERA and 0.46 WHIP on the season.
Analysis: Marcus Semien's clean one-out single to left broke up Ohtani's bid for a perfect game. Mixing 99 mph fastballs with precipitous breaking pitches and tremendous professional cool, Ohtani (2-0) was too much for Oakland. |

Analysis: The much-hyped Japanese star is expected to be the team's designated hitter in at least one of the first three games, but it's unclear if that will happen in the opener on Thursday. "We haven't determined our opening-day lineup yet," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Tuesday night. The 23-year-old Ohtani, who struggled in spring training, was told after Tuesday's exhibition game against the Dodgers that he'll pitch Sunday. |
Mar. 24 6:45 PM PT7:45 PM MT8:45 PM CT9:45 PM ET21:45 ET1:45 GMT9:45 6:45 PM MST8:45 PM EST7:45 PM CST9:15 PM VEN5:45 UAE (+1)7:45 PM CT-Ohtani's final time on the mound in spring training Saturday was a mixed bag, leaving the Los Angeles Angels noncommittal on what's next for the two-way star from Japan. Ohtani worked into the sixth inning of an intrasquad game on a back field, throwing only 47 strikes in 85 pitches to mostly minor leaguers. He walked five, hit a batter and threw two wild pitches while allowing two runs on just two hits. The 23-year-old righty struck out five.
Analysis: When does Ohtani pitch again? He politely replied through a translator to ask manager Mike Scioscia. Scioscia isn't saying. He said Ohtani would be the designated hitter for some of the three Freeway Series exhibition games against the Los Angeles Dodgers. As a DH, Ohtani batted .107 with three singles in 28 at-bats with three walks and nine strikeouts. |
Mar. 16 3:27 PM PT4:27 PM MT5:27 PM CT6:27 PM ET18:27 ET22:27 GMT6:27 3:27 PM MST5:27 PM EST4:27 PM CST5:57 PM VEN2:27 UAE (+1)4:27 PM CT-Ohtani was rocked for seven runs over 1 1/3 innings in his second major league spring training start for the Los Angeles Angels, allowing long home runs to Colorado's Ian Desmond and Nolan Arenado on Friday.
Analysis: The 23-year-old Japanese two-way star was making his first big league exhibition appearance since Feb. 24, when he pitched 1 1/3 innings against Milwaukee and gave up Keon Broxton's home run leading off the second. |
Mar. 12 5:26 PM PT6:26 PM MT7:26 PM CT8:26 PM ET20:26 ET0:26 GMT8:26 5:26 PM MST7:26 PM EST6:26 PM CST7:56 PM VEN4:26 UAE (+1)6:26 PM CT-Angels DH Shohei Ohtani went 0 for 4 on Monday.
Analysis: The much-hyped pitcher/DH has struggled both on the mound and at the plate so far this spring. He's batting .111. |
Feb. 26 2:14 PM PT3:14 PM MT4:14 PM CT5:14 PM ET17:14 ET22:14 GMT6:14 3:14 PM MST5:14 PM EST4:14 PM CST5:44 PM VEN2:14 UAE (+1)4:14 PM CT-Ohtani hit a sharp RBI single up the middle and also walked twice in his first spring training start as a designated hitter for the Los Angeles Angels.
Analysis: Batting second Monday, the 23-year-old fell behind 0-2 against San Diego Padres right-hander Jordan Lyles before drawing four straight balls in the first inning. The lefty-hitting phenom walked again in the third against Buddy Bauman. Ohtani then hit the first pitch he saw from Michael Mariot for a single in the fifth in his last time up. His first Cactus League at-bats came two days after his first start on the mound. |
Feb. 24 1:26 PM PT2:26 PM MT3:26 PM CT4:26 PM ET16:26 ET21:26 GMT5:26 2:26 PM MST4:26 PM EST3:26 PM CST4:56 PM VEN1:26 UAE (+1)3:26 PM CT-Ohtani struggled in his spring pitching debut with the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday, allowing a home run and lasting a few batters less than scheduled.
Analysis: Ohtani allowed two runs, one earned, and two hits in 1 1-3 innings. Keon Broxton tagged him for a home run leading off the second inning. The right-hander struck out two and walked one. He threw 31 pitches, 17 strikes. He had been scheduled to go two innings. |
