Shohei Ohtani has been one of the most brilliant baseball players in memory, and the first in generations to both pitch and hit at a star level. Ohtani, who is eligible for free agency this off-season, left Wednesday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds with one out in the second inning. He did not pitch for all of 2019 while recovering from Tommy John surgery on the same elbow, but he continued to hit. Ohtani leads the majors with 44 home runs and a .664 slugging percentage. He finished his pitching season with a 10-5 record and a 3.14 E.R.A.

Mandatory Credit: Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports Acquire Licensing RightsAug 24 (Reuters) - Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani has a torn ligament in his right elbow and will not pitch again this season, the team's General Manager Perry Minasian said on Wednesday. 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.

CNN —Residents in the Southwest are bracing for heavy rains and potentially catastrophic flooding as Hurricane Hilary is expected to pummel the region as a rare tropical storm beginning Sunday and lasting into next week. Its core is expected to pass close to the peninsula Saturday night and then weaken into a tropical storm as it crosses into the US and Southern California. The threat has triggered California’s first ever tropical storm warning extending from the state’s southern border to just north of Los Angeles. “Preparations for the impacts of flooding from rainfall should be completed as soon as possible, as heavy rain will increase ahead of the center on Saturday,” the hurricane center said.

☆ Los Angeles Angels break franchise records in 25-1 annihilation of Colorado Rockies
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-25 | by ( Issy Ronald | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —The Los Angeles Angels enjoyed a historic night on the road Saturday at Coors Field, setting new franchise records for both runs and hits in a game as they dismantled the Colorado Rockies 25-1, scoring 25 runs on 28 hits. We attacked pitches in the zone and hitting gets contagious sometimes,” Angels manager Phil Nevin said afterwards. Dustin Bradford/Getty ImagesThe Angels scored 13 runs in the third, tying a franchise record which had previously been set in 1997 and 1978. It was a less auspicious record-breaking night for the Rockies as they succumbed to their worst defeat in franchise history, according to Reuters. “Today was just one of those days, where everyone was feeling good and we were getting the right pitches to hit,” Moniak added, according to ESPN.
