MLB Trade Rumors
Shohei Ohtani has been scheduled to start Tuesday’s game against the Rangers, the
Angels announced today. The two-way star has pitched just once this season due to a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand, but he threw three bullpen sessions this week of increasing pitch volume, topping out at a 30-pitch bullpen on Saturday.
With no further issues in the wake of these sessions, Ohtani will look to build on an inconsistent first start that saw him allow one earned run over 4 1/3 innings against the White Sox on April 4, but with five walks and two hits allowed. While Ohtani has been kept off the mound, the blister hasn’t slowed down his red-hot bat, as Ohtani is hitting .333/.370/.706 with four home runs in 54 plate appearances.

Well, then! It’s been quite the week for Mariners fans as we’ve been dealing with the fallout of the Zoom call heard ‘round the baseball world. First of all, I’ve never been more proud to be a part of this staff and community. Don’t you ever believe that the voice of devoted fans can’t create change. Secondly, hey, did you know there is practice baseball this Sunday and we get to finally see how this young team’s season is going to unfold? My idle thoughts have very much not been filled by baseball thoughts very often the last few months for a variety of reasons, but the last few days they have crept back in and are making themselves comfortable. Blessings and curses to you, Spring Training backfield videos!
