Ohtani has had cramping issues over the past few weeks. He also said he didn’t feel at his best when he pitched last week against the San Francisco Giants.
HOUSTON — After acknowledging that some of his issues over the past couple weeks were the result of fatigue, Shohei Ohtani has asked Manager Phil Nevin to skip his next turn in the rotation.
Nevin said Ohtani will continue to DH. He also said he doesn’t think Ohtani’s recent dip at the plate is related to fatigue. Ohtani hasn’t hit a homer since Aug. 3. His double on Saturday was hit at 118.3 mph, the hardest he has hit a ball this season. “I think everyone’s going through the peak of their fatigue right now around this time of the year,” Ohtani said through his interpreter after Wednesday’s game. “I’m not the only one. Going into the off day tomorrow. See how I feel the next day. If I feel like I need a day or two, I’ll talk to him about it.”
“If you told me he’d miss one start all year at the beginning of the year, I’ll take that,” Nevin said, “because I know that means he’s healthy all season long.”
