More injuries for the Los Angeles Angels
But it's not just Ohtani who has suffered an injury for the Angels, the Japanese is joined by star Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon. With 45 wins and 43 losses, the Los Angeles team ranks third in its division after the Rangers who appear on top and the Houston Astros who are second.
Ohtani's side is expected to recover soon so the Angels won't want to risk him in the All-Star Game. In addition, the team needs the Japanese, who also does not have a clear continuity with him since he is expected to sign with another franchise that offers him an armored contract and for many years.

The biggest concern right now is with some Angels who, even if they refuse, could lose their greatest figure, who along with Mike Trout have not been able to lead the team to the place they want to occupy. It will dawn and we will see what baseball holds for both parties.
