Shohei Ohtani has made the Los Angeles Angels opening day roster. In a somewhat unexpected twist though, it appears likely the two-way star will make his hitting debut before throwing his first pitch in an MLB game. Ohtani, who signed a minor-league deal with the Angels in December, was officially added to the Angels 40-man roster after Tuesday's final exhibition game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. That outcome was expected all along. However, the smart money seemed to be on Ohtani serving as the Angels starting pitcher on Friday or Saturday in Oakland. Instead, manager Mike Scioscia says Ohtani will start on Sunday, which is the final game of a four-game weekend series against the Oakland Athletics.
