Ohtani Shohei reported his safety on social media Instagram: “I completed the surgery on my elbow this morning and everything went well. Thank you to each of you for your prayers and blessings. It is unfortunate that I will not be able to finish the season on the court, but I will Cheering for my teammates all the way to the end. I will do everything I can to make myself stronger than ever when I return to the court.”
The Angels released a statement from Ohtani’s agent, Nez Balelo, confirming that famous sports medicine doctor Neal El Attrache completed surgery on Ohtani’s elbow in Los Angeles this morning, but did not provide details. Doctors predict that Shohei Ohtani will be able to play as a hitter in the opening game of 2024, and can resume pitching in 2025, reproducing his “two-sword style” skill of both pitching and hitting. Ohtani underwent elbow ligament reconstruction surgery commonly known as Tommy John in 2018, and the same doctor performed the surgery.
Shohei Ohtani will end his six-year guest-host relationship with the Angels after this season and become a free agent. Although he will only be able to hit next season, he has 44 hits this year and is the favorite to win the annual Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. It is expected that there will be a competition for players, with teams offering sky-high contracts to grab him.
Ohtani was diagnosed with a torn elbow ligament on August 24 and announced that he would no longer pitch this season. Later, he was unable to play as a hitter due to an injury to his right oblique muscle, and the season ended prematurely.
The Angels are out of the playoffs this season. Including today’s away game against the Rays, there are 12 regular season games left. The home game against the Athletics on October 1st will be the Angels’ last game of the season, and it may also be Ohtani’s last game wearing an Angels uniform. .
