Shohei Ohtani Skipping Wednesday's Start Against Texas

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani is skipping his next start against Texas on Wednesday, per manager Phil Nevin.

The Los Angeles Angels reinstated right-hander Griffin Canning (calf) from the injured list on Sunday and optioned left-hander Kenny Rosenberg to Triple-A Salt Lake following Saturday's game in a corresponding move.
