Los Angeles Angels player Shohei Ohtani, considered by many to be the best baseball player today, will be out for the remainder of the season due to a right oblique muscle injury. The franchise placed him on the injured list.
The newest injury comes after he fractured a ligament in his right elbow on August 23, which prevented him from pitching. He will undergo surgery, as confirmed in a statement by the Angels' General Manager Perry Minasian:
His agent, Nez Balelo, said Ohtani could be ready to play again on Opening Day 2024. Angels manager Phil Nevin is also confident that Ohtani will return better than ever:
Ohtani will be a free agent at the end of the season and there is speculation that he will sign the biggest contract in MLB history.
