on Thursday night because of cramping in his pitching hand and fingers. He said the cramping was largely in his right middle finger.
The star struggled with a finger blister and a fingernail problem for a few starts last month, but Nevin said those issues aren't related to the cramping problems Ohtani had Thursday night. Ohtani, who leads the majors with 40 home runs, was in the lineup as the designated hitter Saturday night against Seattle."He wants to be out there," Nevin said. "He takes great care of his body. You can't predict when the cramp's going to come up, especially where it happened to be in his middle finger last night."Copyright © 2023 ESPN Internet Ventures. All rights reserved.
