Los Angeles Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani will return to the mound Sunday against the Houston Astros for the first time since he was placed on the disabled list in June with an elbow injury, according to MLB.com’s Maria I. Guardado. 

Ohtani was activated from the disabled list July 3 after he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. However, he was only cleared to take at-bats and has not pitched since June 6.
