Shohei Ohtani's time as a pitcher is done for the season. The Angels would like to make it clear it isn't their fault.
The Los Angeles Angels phenom was diagnosed with a torn UCL last week, likely putting him on a path to a second Tommy John surgery and disrupting what was expected to be the most-lucrative free agency in MLB history.
It's devastating news for all involved, but the timeline in which the injury was discovered has become a topic of debate for some. Angels general manager Perry Minasian, perhaps feeling the heat, did his best to make clear any injury didn't go unnoticed due to the team's negligence, telling reporters Saturday that Ohtani and his agent turned down an MRI earlier this month after he cramped up in a start.
