Shohei Ohtani of the Major League Baseball Angels has been removed from the starting lineup for the first time this season against the Guardians on the 28th.
Otani is the only batter in the team to play in all 19 games so far this season, and in four of these games he has also started as a pitcher.
He scored his second win of the season with two goals in five innings against the Guardians on the 27th, and was active in pitching with three hits for the first time this season.
He was removed from the starting lineup for the first time this season due to the fact that the 28th is a day game after the night game and the team is in 20 consecutive games until May 11th.
The designated hitter that Otani was in was Trout, the main gun.
Angels coach Maddon, who met before the match, said before the match on the 28th that "it is possible to play in the match," indicating that he has a plan to use a pinch hitter.
The match starts after 5 am Japan time.
