Heading into the home stretch of the season, the Angels will skip Shohei Ohtani’s next pitching start after the two-way star told manager Phil Nevin he was dealing with right arm fatigue.
Nevin told reporters Sunday that Ohtani will not go on the injured list, and is scheduled to take his next turn in the rotation later this month.
“I’ve told you guys many times he knows his body better than anybody,” Nevin said. “I trust him when he talks about it. He’s assured me there’s no pain, there’s no injury. He’s got some regular arm fatigue that some go through at times. I trust him when he tells me this and he’ll be ready for his next time out.”
