Well that's just a kick in the nuts, huh?

I'm going with Maria Guardado from MLB.com because she's adorable:

The Angels have recommended Tommy John surgery for Shohei Ohtani.

Here's more. CBS Sports writes:

"Wednesday afternoon the Angels announced a recent MRI showed new damage to Ohtani's elbow ligament following his return to the mound Sunday, and elbow reconstruction has been recommended. No surgery date has been set and it's possible Ohtani will seek a second opinion before committing to Tommy John surgery."

Good luck to Ohtani. Get well soon. I am pretty sure he'll end up getting surgery.
