Shohei Ohtani (forearm) back in Angels' lineup Thursday
Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (forearm) is at DH and the cleanup spot for Thursday's game against right-hander Taijuan Walker and the Seattle Mariners.
Ohtani will be on the field for the first time since being diagnosed with a forearm strain after a rough outing from the mound Sunday. He's unlikely to pitch again this season but should continue to serve as the Angels' DH. Justin Upton will move to left field in place of Taylor Ward and hit sixth.
numberFire's models expect Ohtani to score 11.6 FanDuel points on Thursday. He costs $3,100.
