Ohtani still on track to start for Angels vs. Pirates Friday

Shohei Ohtani, dealing with a troublesome finger during his past three trips to the pitcher’s mound, is still on track to make his next programmed start Friday versus the Pittsburgh Pirates, Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin stated prior to Monday’s series opener versus the New York Yankees. Ohtani first pitched through a cracked nail in his right middle finger June 27, which developed into a blister when he took the mound July 4. The additional rest afforded by the All-Star break didn’t completely solve the issue; Ohtani was still nursing the cracked fingernail and blister while being charged with five runs (four earned) […]

The Texas Rangers, who have emerged as one of the most dominant teams in the majors this campaign, pulled off the first major trade of the summer on Friday, snagging perennial All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman from the Kansas City Royals.
