Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels) was benched for the 10th consecutive game with right side soreness. He could return to action as early as the home game against the Detroit Tigers on April 16.
According to a report by Japanese sports outlet Full Count on Thursday, manager Phil Nevin said of Ohtani’s current status ahead of the team’s game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington, USA, “There is still some soreness. He’s not a game-day decision today.”
“Ohtani appeared relaxed in the clubhouse before the game, enjoying time with his teammates,” the outlet said, adding that he is expected to return to action as early as the home game against Detroit on April 16.카지노
Without Ohtani, the Angels fell to Seattle 2-3 on the day, snapping a two-game losing streak. The Angels got on the board first in the top of the third inning on a Phillips solo shot to center field, but Seattle put runners on first and second with one out in the bottom half of the inning, and Rodriguez tied the game with an RBI double.
The Angels regained the lead in the third on Neto’s infield single and Drury’s two-run double down the left field line to make it 2-1. Trailing 2-1 in the fifth, Seattle regained the lead with back-to-back RBI singles by Rolle and Hernandez to make it 3-2. Angels starter Wietz pitched two scoreless innings and Suarez, who started the third, took the loss after allowing two runs in 1⅔ innings.
Seattle starter Castillo earned the win with six innings of two-run ball.
