Goes deep in return to lineup Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in a win over Seattle on Thursday.
Impact Ohtani had not played since suffering a strained forearm as a pitcher Sunday, but he wasted little time proving that the injury would not limit him as a hitter, blasting a home run to left field in the second inning. The long ball was Ohtani's fifth hit of the season -- three of which have left the yard. Despite hitting only .167 on the campaign, the 26-year-old has driven in eight runs in nine contests.

Angels' Ohtani homers in 1st at-bat since pitching shutdown
Limited to the batter’s box for the rest of this season, Shohei Ohtani is still helping the Los Angeles AngelsAUGUST 6, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Back in action Ohtani (forearm) is hitting fourth as the Angels' designated hitter Thursday against the Mariners.
Impact As expected, Ohtani has been cleared to rejoin the lineup as DH after missing a handful of games with a strained forearm. While the issue will keep him from pitching in 2020, Ohtani -- who is 4-for-27 with a pair of home runs and seven RBI this season -- is still expected to serve as the team's primary designated hitter.

Hopes to pitch next season Ohtani (forearm) indicated that he would like to remain a two-way player in 2021, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Impact Ohtani won't pitch again this season after being diagnosed with a forearm strain and given a 4-6 week recovery timeline, but he isn't ready to abandon his role as a pitcher in spite of his injury woes since joining the Angels. "It's not as severe as my Tommy John -- it's just a little inflammation in my elbow," Ohtani said through an interpreter. "If it comes down to them telling me to just focus on hitting or focus on pitching, I will listen. But, ideally, I would like to leave the window open for me to do both." The injury isn't likely to prevent Ohtani from hitting, and he is expected to be in the lineup as the team's designated hitter Thursday.

Should return to Thursday's lineup Ohtani (forearm) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners, but he's expected to start in Thursday's series finale, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact The 26-year-old isn't expected to pitch again this season after suffering a forearm strain Sunday, but the team still believes he'll serve as the primary designated hitter the rest of the season. Ohtani has taken the past few days off as the injury is evaluated, but he should be back in the lineup Thursday. Justin Upton will bat cleanup as the DH for Wednesday's contest.
