Happy Friday, San Francisco Giants fans.
Some very bad news hit the baseball world this week: Shohei Ohtani is injured. The Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar suffered a torn UCL, and injury that has previously led to him undergoing Tommy John surgery. It very well may lead to it again.
Ohtani the pitcher has been shut down for the year. But Ohtani the hitter — the best hitter in baseball this year — is still playing. It seems he’ll try to play the rest of the year, and it’s worth noting that he played as a designated hitter during the season when he was rehabbing TJ.
