Not starting Game 1 Ohtani isn't starting Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Twins, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Ohtani's fastball velocity was down during Wednesday's start against Cleveland, although manager Joe Maddon said that the right-hander simply "wasn't feeling his fastball." Anthony Rendon will serve as the designated hitter in Thursday's matinee while Jose Rojas starts at third base.

Gives up two runs Wednesday Ohtani allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's loss against Cleveland but did not factor into the decision. He also went...
Impact Ohtani allowed Cleveland to get on the board early with an RBI double in the first by Franmil Reyes. He later allowed a leadoff homer to Jake Bauers in the fifth and was eventually pulled following a two-out walk. A concerning observation was that his fastball velocity was down over five miles per hour during most of the game, although manager Joe Maddon assured afterward that nothing was wrong and Ohtani just "wasn't feeling his fastball." His five strikeouts were the fewest he's had in a start this season and he failed to last five innings for the first time since April 20. He still owns a solid 2.37 ERA and 45:22 K:BB over 30.1 innings but that has only led to one win in his first six outings. He should return to the mound again next week and will need to continue crushing at the plate in the meantime with Mike Trout (calf) out for the next 6-8 weeks.

Goes long again Ohtani went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Ohtani hit a no-doubter, 440-foot homer in the first inning for his fourth long ball in his last five games. The 26-year-old continues to be the talk of the league, as he leads all of baseball with 14 home runs while dazzling on the mound once a week. The Angels will likely need him to produce even more after the team placed Mike Trout on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a calf strain, which is expected to keep him out 6-to-8 weeks. The two-way sensation is slashing .271/.323/.632 with 33 RBI, 32 runs scored, and he's just outside the top 10 among all qualified hitters with a .956 OPS.
