Minassian GM: “He does everything for the team’s victory. It shows his personality.”
Athletics – Angels (Japan time 2nd, Auckland)
Angels pitcher Shohei Otani will start on the 1st (Japan time 2nd) in the match against the Athletics as “No. 3 designated hitter”. He is expected to hit the 45th home run for the first time in eight games. GM Perry Minassian responded to the press coverage before the game and reiterated his intention to entrust Otani himself with future participation in the game.
On August 23 (24th), it was discovered that the medial collateral ligament of the right elbow was damaged. He continues to play as a designated hitter. “He’s going to play until he makes a stop. He’s injured, but he’s doing well and contributing to the lineup. It’s an honor to see him in action every day. He plays every day.” GM Minassian said.
When asked, “Did you tell him that Ohtani himself will play as a hitter until the end of the season?” It shows his character (to keep playing) despite being injured.”
