Ohtani opts for surgery
Print Edition
Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani will undergo Tommy John surgery in the first week of the offseason, the team confirmed on Tuesday. The Angels said in a brief statement on Twitter that the Japanese ace faced reconstruction to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The surgery had been expected after the injury was confirmed earlier this month, although Ohtani had delayed making a decision. The 24-year-old’s operation will likely sideline him from the game until the 2020 season. UCL injuries in baseball usually require at least a year on the sidelines before a player is deemed fit enough to return. The news represents a downbeat end to what has been a successful first season in Major League Baseball for Ohtani, who hit 21 home runs in 99 games and recorded 63 strikeouts in 10 games.
