Los Angeles Dodgers face uncertainty regarding star pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s health following a subluxation in his left shoulder during Game 2 of the World Series.
Ohtani demonstrated determination to play in Game 3 against the New York Yankees, despite the injury.
Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Ohtani insisted on remaining with the team, prioritizing his desire to contribute on the field.
Medical tests revealed no additional structural damage to Ohtani’s shoulder, providing relief to the Dodgers’ medical staff.
Concerns remain about the potential need for shoulder surgery after the season, with Roberts emphasizing the importance of Ohtani’s full recovery.
Ohtani’s shoulder was put back in place shortly after the injury, allowing him to participate in the World Series as long as he can manage the pain.
Ohtani, under a 10-year, $700 million contract, is a crucial part of the Dodgers’ offense, impacting the team’s scoring ability significantly.
