Angels star Shohei Ohtani will need to undergo a procedure to repair his torn UCL but will continue to be a two-way player, his agent says.
Tony Kemp hit a two-run single that put Oakland ahead in a six-run seventh inning marred by Angels errors in the Athletics’ 10-6 win.Ohtani, set to become a free agent after the World Series, will not pitch again this season after heduring the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 23. Ohtani has not spoken to the media since his pitching start against the San Francisco Giants on Aug. 9.
Balelo answered a number of questions ranging from whether Ohtani will need surgery to his relationship with the team. Although Balelo thinks it is “inevitable” Ohtani will have some kind of procedure done, he said that they were still in the process of determining their options. He said they do not have a timeline on when a procedure might happen and he declined to discuss specifics on what kind of procedure they might pursue.“Clearly, there’s been multiple opinions and we’re not just banking on one or two,” Balelo said. “We’re really trying to educate ourselves in this situation.
Balelo confirmed that the UCL reconstruction Ohtani underwent in 2018 via Tommy John surgery remains intact.
