‘Iron Man’ Ohtani and doctors tell manager Phil Nevin he is good to go as the designated hitter Saturday after getting pulled from the last two games
“Believe me, we wouldn’t put him out there if we thought there was any risk,” Nevin said.
“Everyone’s talking about an off day, but we had one Monday,” Nevin said. “We had one Wednesday because of the rainout. He’s well rested. It’s just a matter of getting fluids in his body. We got him checked out. Obviously, we do that with all our doctors and make sure everything’s good. And he came in today and he feels he feels great.”
Nevin had to be restrained from the umpires as they left the field after the game. Nevin was angry at plate umpire Mike Estabrook afterwith the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
