As per the rules "Any injury that he suffers at the plate will keep him off the mound for the same number of days, and vice versa." has an interesting side effect.
Last night it was Shohei's turn to start, but Ohtani got injured in his 1st at bat in the top of the 1st inning for a 1 game injury. So, he never threw a pitch. But it looks like he can't pitch until his next start. So, basically a one game injury means he cant start for 10 full games. I assume if he would have been injured in his next game for 1, his starts wouldn't have been effected, so this is kind of a bad luck situation, but something to keep in mind while drafting him.
