Shohei Ohtani is 'likely to return as a hitter no matter what,' Angels'
general manager says
天使總管：不管報告如何，大谷應該會以打者身分回歸
The reeling Angels and their sputtering offense apparently will be getting a
Shohei Ohtani boost in the coming weeks.
狀況令人頭暈的天使以及他們疲弱的打線大概會在幾周內得到大谷的挹注。
General manager Billy Eppler told MLB Network Radio on Wednesday that Ohtani
is “likely to return as a hitter no matter what” the rookie’s medical
evaluation Thursday reveals.
天使總管Eppler在星期三跟記者說到大谷"應該會以打者身分回歸"，不管星期四大谷的醫
療評估會是如何。
Ohtani, out since June 6 because of a Grade 2 sprain of his right ulnar
collateral ligament, will be examined in Southern California.
大谷在六月6日因為二級尺骨韌帶扭傷進傷兵，將會在南加州接受檢查。
He received plasma-rich platelet and stem cell injections June 7. The latest
tests will determine the effectiveness of this conservative treatment
approach. Ohtani could still eventually face ligament replacement surgery.
大谷在六月7日接受PRP跟幹細胞注射，最新的一次檢查將會決定這治療的效果，大谷仍有
可能最後還是得面對韌帶替換手術。
At the time Ohtani was placed on the disabled list, Eppler said he “probably
” could have continued playing were he strictly a designated hitter. Ohtani
has been swinging one-handed and tracking pitches recently to ease his
transition back into hitting.
當大谷進DL的時候，Eppler說大谷要繼續上場的話，"很有可能"就是當DH。大谷在最近開
始練習單手揮動，跟觀察投手投球，好準備打擊。
Eppler explained Wednesday that the Angels decided to take the injection
route in hopes that Ohtani could return as a pitcher this season, too.
Pending the results of Thursday’s exam, that possibility remains.
Eppler星期三的時候解釋天使之所以決定用注射的方式是希望大谷本季還可以投手的身分
回歸。端看星期四的結果，投球的可能性還是有的。
Although the Angels, beset by injuries, certainly could use Ohtani in their
starting rotation, just getting even half of him back would be a significant
development given their troubles of late.
雖然天使苦受傷兵困擾，若是可以讓大谷回來輪值，即使雙刀只有一刀可以用的大谷都可
以讓天使有幫助。
Entering their game Wednesday against Boston, the Angels (41-39) had lost
four in a row and fallen into fourth place in the American League West. The
last time they were as few as two games over .500 was April 3.
星期三天使在波士頓，戰績41-39，最近四連敗，美西第四，上次天使勝率高於五成兩場的
時候是在四月3日。
