Ohtani (oblique) will undergo further testing Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Ohtani appeared to injure himself on a swing during batting practice, prompting the Angels to scratch him from the lineup ahead of Monday's series opener with the Orioles. Skipper Phil Nevin stated that after Monday's 6-3 loss that the designated hitter is "pretty sore," per Fletcher. The team should have a better idea of Ohtani's availability moving forward after getting a look at Tuesday's test results. Ohtani is already dealing with a torn UCL in his right elbow, which has prompted the Angels to shut him down from pitching again in 2023.
