X-rays return negative Ohtani had X-rays on his right hand/wrist come back negative after being hit by a pitch Saturday versus the Padres, and he remains on track to pitch Tuesday against the Yankees, Sa... Impact Ohtani was hit on the right hand/wrist by a pitch when he struck out during the first inning, but he never exited the contest and checked out alright after being evaluated. The 27-year-old went 0-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base -- his 20th steal of the season -- Saturday, and he'll have Sunday's scheduled off day to recover before potentially missing any action. Assuming Ohtani experiences no further issues, he should be back in the lineup at designated hitter Monday versus New York before taking the mound Tuesday.
