Angels' Shohei Ohtani has MRI for discomfort in throwing arm

Shohei Ohtani is experiencing more discomfort in his throwing arm after having Tommy John surgery last season. 

The 26-year-old pitcher underwent an MRI on Sunday, and the Los Angeles Angeles are still waiting for the results, according to ESPN's Alden Gonzalez.

Ohtani pitched just 1.2 innings on Sunday against the Houston Astros and allowed two earned runs on five walks. He struck out three batters but threw only 25 of his 50 pitches for strikes.

In his first start of the 2020 season last week, Ohtani also struggled. He faced six batters and retired zero. 

We all know that Ohtani can pitch, especially after what he showed in 2018 -- He threw 51 2/3 innings with 63 strikeouts and a 3.31 ERA. However, his arm issues have been a struggle since he made the jump to MLB, and the Angels need to figure things out fast.
