Angels' Shohei Ohtani: Out for first game of twin bill

Ohtani is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels are slated to face a pair of southpaw starters (Joe Palumbo and Brock Burke) in the twin bill, so it's not too surprising that the lefty-hitting Ohtani will be withheld from the lineup for one of the contests. Ohtani turned in a productive night in an 8-7 loss Monday in the series opener, going 2-for-4 with a triple, a walk, a stolen base, an RBI and two runs.
