Shohei Ohtani has been diagnosed with a Grade 1-2 strain of the flexor pronator mass. (Jeff Fletcher on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact:

Ohtani left Sunday’s start after feeling some arm discomfort and was sent for an MRI. The Angels say he can start a throwing program in 4-6 weeks. However, there is just eight weeks left in the season so he could be finished pitching in 2020. The current plan is for Ohtani to still serve as the Angels’ DH this summer.
