SHOHEI OHTANI NEWS

Clocks ninth home run Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Rays.

Impact Ohtani was kept off the mound as a precaution Monday but was feeling healthy enough to crush a 427-foot blast off Tyler Glasnow in the sixth inning. The two-way phenom moved back into a tie for the MLB home run lead with nine. He's slashing .272/.318/.641 with 17 extra-base hits and 22 RBI.

Still able to hit Ohtani (elbow) will bat second and serve as the designated hitter Monday against the Rays despite being scratched from his scheduled turn on the mound.

Impact Ohtani won't make his scheduled start after getting hit in his right (pitching) elbow Sunday against the Mariners, but the issue evidently doesn't bother him while he swings. Jose Quintana will replace him on the mound. It's unclear when Ohtani is next expected to take the hill. Manager Joe Maddon stated that Ohtani's elbow is still too sore to throw, and that he's unsure if the right-hander will pitch during the team's four-game series with the Rays, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.
