■Mariners – Angels (13th Japan time, Seattle)
Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who is suffering from tightness in his right side, was removed from the starting lineup for the team’s match against the Mariners on the 12th (13th Japan time, 10:40 a.m.). This is the ninth consecutive game he started on the bench.
He injured his right side during batting practice before the home game against the Orioles on the 4th (5th) and missed 8 consecutive games until the day before. It was the first time in four years that he missed eight consecutive games since September 2019, when he had surgery on his left knee. He was included in the starting lineup the day before, but he avoided playing in the starting lineup. Coach Nevin said, “There’s still a little bit of pain when I swing with all my might.”
If he hits a home run as a substitute, it will be his first home run in 11 games since he hit one in the first inning of the first game of a doubleheader against the Reds on August 23 (August 24), when it was discovered that he had injured the medial collateral ligament in his right elbow. In addition, as a pinch hitter, he has a batting average of .342 with 14 hits in 41 at bats, 2 home runs, and 6 RBIs.
