Ohtani (wrist) won't pitch vs. Yanks; will still hit

Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani will not make his scheduled start Tuesday against the New York Yankees after getting hit by a pitch on his right wrist on Saturday, manager Joe Maddon said Monday.

Maddon told reporters that Ohtani is still dealing with some soreness, and that he will continue to hit as the Angels' DH until he is ready to pitch again.

Maddon also said that outfielder Mike Trout is still dealing with some soreness in his right calf, and acknowledged it's getting close to the time when the team will have to decide whether to shut him down for the season. Trout has been out since May 17 with a calf strain.

Ohtani was hit on the right hand by a pitch from Ryan Weathers in the first inning of Saturday's win over the San Diego Padres. He stayed in the game, and Maddon said X-rays were negative.

Ohtani, 27, went 0-for-4 in that game, but walked and stole second in the fifth inning to become the first player in team history with 40 homers and 20 steals in a season for the Angels. No AL player had reached those marks since Curtis Granderson did it for the Yankees in 2011.

Widely considered the favorite for AL MVP, Ohtani leads the majors in home runs with 41 and is 8-1 as a pitcher with a 3.00 ERA and team-leading 127 strikeouts. He also leads the Angels in RBIs (89), extra-base hits (70) and on-base percentage (.363).
