Shohei Ohtani appears to be nearing a return to the Los Angeles Angels’ lineup after injuring his right oblique muscles in batting practice early in the week.
“I think it’s more just a little uncomfortable,” Nevin said. “With those , it has to be 100% for me, because if you rip that, it’s not a fun time. You don’t want to risk anybody at any time for that.”
Ohtani is still considered the strong frontrunner for his second AL MVP award in three years. His 44 homers are two behind Atlanta’s Matt Olson for the major league lead, while his 95 RBIs are the sixth-most in the majors and his 1.066 OPS is tops in the sport. The Angels are in freefall without Ohtani and Mike Trout, losing six straight and 13 of 16 to fall out of the AL playoff race. Ohtani wants to return this season as a hitter even after he tore a ligament in his right elbow Aug. 23, ending his season on the mound.
