ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani’s next scheduled mound start for the Los Angeles Angels has been pushed back one day to Friday. Angels manager Phil Nevin announced the decision Sunday on Ohtani, who had been tentatively scheduled to make his regular turn in the rotation on Thursday in Detroit. Instead, Ohtani will take the mound when the Angels open a weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays, a fellow contender for the AL’s wild-card playoff spots. The start will be the last for Ohtani before the trade deadline.
