The former American League MVP made it clear to TMZ Sports this week he thinks it's analytics -- not adjustments to timing pitchers -- that's creating elbow woes.

Shohei Ohtani had no idea his translator was gambling millions of dollars, and the feds have concluded not only was the Dodger star NOT involved in the scheme, he was a victim of fraud ... law enforcement sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports.

Our sources say the feds, who launched an investigation last month, have concluded Mizuhara was lying -- that Ohtani was completely in the dark over the gambling debt, and Mizuhara embezzled from one of Ohtani's accounts without the pitcher's knowledge.

Eso no es todo, el ex señor de la droga también le está pidiendo a la corte que le siga permitiendo 2 llamadas de 15 minutos al mes con sus hijas, lo que se cortó el pasado mes de mayo. Él sugiere que esto es obra de los federales en represalia a su intento de que desechen su caso.

The reality star's attorney, Jay Surgent, tells TMZ ... he spoke with Todd Tuesday, and it's been made clear Todd doesn't have an income right now while he's doing time in prison -- so it'll be an uphill battle figuring out a way to pay off the $755k he just got hit with.

We also asked about any potential touring once her album's released -- that is how these things typically work, and Saweetie agrees ... there needs to be a tour.

Of course, she's signed to Warner Records, and the label has the final say-so on her rollout, which probably explains why she didn't declare any specific release or tour dates ... but her frustrations have been mounting.

She recently lashed out at WB for not approving her budget as she promoted an upcoming track ... a somewhat puzzling move, considering Saweetie has had several multi-platinum and Billboard 100 hits.

They recently repackaged several of her old hits for an EP to rally around her new song "Richtivities" in the meantime. 🤷🏼‍♀️
