Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani had elbow surgery Tuesday, and his doctor said he expects the two-way star will be available as a hitter on opening day next season and will return to the mound as a pitcher in 2025.
Ohtani tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow on Aug. 23, ending his pitching season. He continued as a batter through Sept. 3 until an oblique strain.
"I had a procedure done on my elbow earlier this morning and everything went very well," Ohtani said in a post on Instagram."Thank you very much for everyone's prayers and kind words. It was very unfortunate that I couldn't finish out the year on the field, but I will be rooting on the boys until the end. I will work as hard as I can and do my best to come back on the diamond stronger than ever.
"The final decision and type of procedure was made with a heavy emphasis on the big picture," Balelo said."Shohei wanted to make sure the direction taken gave him every opportunity to hit and pitch for many years to come." "The ultimate plan after deliberation with Shohei, was to repair the issue at hand and to reinforce the healthy ligament in place while adding viable tissue for the longevity of the elbow," ElAttrache said in a statement released by the Angels."I expect full recovery and he'll be ready to hit without any restrictions come opening day of 2024 and do both come 2025."
