Major League Baseball defers any action regarding Shohei Ohtani until the end of a federal case involving his former interpreter.

The former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, faces bank fraud charges from the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Investigations indicate Ohtani was a victim in the fraud case and did not authorize illegal betting.

No evidence was found of Mizuhara betting on baseball games.

MLB's decision on whether to conduct further investigation into Ohtani hinges on the outcome of Mizuhara's legal proceedings.
