Ohtani departs mound early with arm fatigue

LOS ANGELES: Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani hit his Major League Baseball-leading 44th home run of the season on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) but departed the pitching mound in the second inning with what the club said was arm fatigue.

The Japanese sensation had skipped his last scheduled pitching start with arm fatigue and was pitching for the first time since August 9.
