Former Rangers Star Doesn’t Want Exit From New Club Just Months After Joining

Kent’s contract at Rangers ran out earlier this summer and he ended his Ibrox stay, leaving the Gers as a free agent.

He opted to go to Turkey and penned a four-year contract with Istanbul giants Fenerbahce.

However, it has been claimed that Kent is unhappy at Fenerbahce and wants to leave the club, just months after joining.

That talk though, according to Turkish outlet Sports Digitale, is wide of the mark.

Kent is claimed to be happy at Fenerbahce and not looking for a speedy exit from the Turkish side.

The former Rangers man has already played for Fenerbahce this season, turning out in the Europa Conference League qualifiers and scoring once, along with providing an assist.

Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani will miss his next scheduled pitching start on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers to rest his arm.

 

The two-way star will not take any time off as the team’s designated hitter, but is taking a break from pitching due to arm fatigue, manager Phil Nevin told reporters ahead of the team’s matchup with the Houston Astros on Sunday.

Nevin emphasized Ohtani is not injured, telling reporters the right-hander would return to the rotation during a series at home against the Reds that begins Aug. 21.

The 29-year-old went into Sunday’s game with a 3.17 ERA as a pitcher, though he had to leave a start after just four innings earlier this month due to difficulty extending his right middle finger. As a hitter, he notched a league-leading 41st home run of the season in Sunday’s 2-1 Angels win over the Astros.

Ohtani has played in 116 of the Angels’ 118 games as of Sunday, starting as a pitcher in 22 of those them. His break from serving as a starting pitcher comes as he hasn’t received a day off since early May. He hasn’t technically been removed from a game before its end since July 28, a pull that came in the ninth inning.
