However, Minasian later said Ohtani had a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), adding that it was too soon to tell whether surgery was required.
"We're in the process of getting second opinions," Minasian said.
The Angels will take on the New York Mets on Friday and Minasian said he hoped Ohtani would be able to return as a batter this season.
