Launches 11th homer Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact He produced the Angels' first run in the top of the sixth inning as he swatted a Nick Pivetta offering over the Green Monster. Ohtani has slowed down somewhat at the plate, going 11-for-48 (.229) through 12 games in May, but he's still launched three of his 11 homers on the year during that stretch.

Start pushed back due to fatigue Ohtani's next start was pushed back due to fatigue Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Angels have allowed Ohtani to take on as heavy a workload as he can on both sides of the ball this year, though that's required frequent minor adjustments to his schedule. He's reportedly not injured but will need a bit more time before he's ready to return to the mound. He won't start Tuesday against Cleveland as previously scheduled but should be on the mound somewhere between Wednesday and next Friday.

Impact Ohtani did everything he could to keep the Angels in the game Tuesday. His only earned run came on a fifth-inning home run by Kyle Tucker. The two-way player has struggled with command this season, walking 19 batters through his first four starts. However, he didn't show any signs of struggle against the Astros, walking only one batter and reaching double-digit strikeouts for the first time this season. In addition, he batted second and hit a single in the seventh inning. If that wasn't enough, after he was relieved in the eighth inning he stayed in the game and finished in right field.
