Halos Heaven is trying not to be worried about Shohei Ohtani‘s UCL sprain.
Why did Ohtani choose the Halos? What was the thing that tipped him over the edge into Angels territory, eschewing six other finalist teams in the process? Well, after reading Jeff Passan’s report this evening, I think I’ve got it: Ohtani chose the Halos because he felt, due to the amount of devastating and maddening elbow injuries their pitching staff has been dealt in recent years, that they’d be best equipped to handle the news that the stud Japanese ballplayer you just signed could possibly be another one added to that infamous injury list.
Basically, there was inflammation in the ligament, but no damage. It was treated with a plasma injection. All the teams knew this going in, and they all still wanted him. I suspect the worry level should be low at this point.
