Shohei Ohtani\'s elbow surgery on Tuesday went well, according to Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin.
Ohtani is expected to be available as a hitter on Opening Day next season and return to the mound in 2025.
\"He\'s in good spirits,\" Nevin said. \"He knows everything went fine with the surgery. He\'s in the recovery process right now.\"
Los Angeles Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache operated on Ohtani at the Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles. He said in a statement that the sides decided to \"reinforce the healthy ligament in place.\"
Ohtani is eligible for free agency after the World Series.
