Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani's hand is feeling better and he will make his next start as scheduled on Wednesday at home against the San Francisco Giants, manager Phil Nevin said.

Ohtani went only four innings in a 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night due to cramping in his pitching hand and fingers. He said the cramping was largely in his right middle finger.

Ohtani struggled with a finger blister and a fingernail problem for a few starts last month, but Nevin said those issues aren't related to the cramping problems Ohtani had Thursday night.
