SEATTLE (AP) — The Angels activated right-handed pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (right elbow) from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday and he was the designated hitter in their game against the Seattle Mariners.Ohtani received stem cell therapy and a platelet-rich plasma injection to help heal his Grade 2 sprain of his ulnar collateral ligament suffered more than three weeks ago. Ohtani was cleared for a hitting program on Friday and took part in two simulated games against minor league pitchers over the weekend."We're going to see how many looks we can give him as a (designated hitter) and hopefully he'll give us a lift there," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.Scioscia added that there's no plan in place in terms of Ohtani's usage and they'll monitor it daily."He's been cleared to swing and we will see how it all goes down," Scioscia said. "I check with my players all the time to make sure nothing is bothering them, but we don't anticipate anything as far as him swinging the bat."Ohtani is hitting .289 with a .907 OPS and six homers in 114 at-bats in his rookie season. He batted sixth on Tuesday."I think it's a good spot for him," Scioscia said. "When you're talking about Mike (Trout), Albert (Pujols), Justin (Upton) and (Andrelton) Simmons, hitting sixth behind those guys will hopefully be a good spot for him to hit, but also just trying to get him acclimated. We don't want him to say, 'I have to do so much,' if he's hitting higher in the lineup. I think it's a good spot for him to see some pitches tonight."It's still unclear if Ohtani is capable of returning on the mound this year, but Angels general manager Billy Eppler has expressed the club's desire to utilize his skills as a hitter as the Angels attempt to climb back into the playoff race.Scioscia emphasized that Ohtani was not being rushed back into the lineup."He would not be playing here tonight if he wasn't cleared by our medical department," Scioscia said. "We were very comfortable that he was able to swing the bat."Right-handed pitcher Miguel Almonte was also called up and right-handed pitchers Deck McGuire and Eduardo Paredes were optioned to Triple-A in corresponding moves.___More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball
