This injury news is awful for both Shohei Ohtani and the Angels. Shohei is scheduled to be a free agent at seasons end and was looking at receiving the largest contract in MLB history. While his pitching status for 2023 has been made clear it is currently unknown if he will take the mound next season or not. Injuries are never a good thing, but the timing of this for Shohei is terrible.
